They always stretch the back legs, no?

But at the same time, it's also a question of the prey drive, because the dogmans maybe not have the extreme prey drive as an extreme Malinois or an extreme German Shepherd.

So when you put in the prey, the dumbbells in this case, and stupid training jumping at the same time, you destroy good genetics too.

So I know lines that have problems with jumping, but I also know lines that are super nice jumpers, but where people have destroyed it.

So many times the jump techniques are connected to how do you teach them in the beginning.

And people say that some lines, some breeds have more or less problems, but I say yes, it's possible, but

the training systems is also very strange.

I mean, you know that you never teach your dog to jump after a ball.

Ivan Balabanov should never teach a dog to jump after a ball.

We teach the dog to jump and then after when everything is correct, we put in the dumbbells at the last.

And we teach them long jump before high jump to teach them to stretch and all these different things.

So the critique that we say now that we may be changing the angle of the A-frame, I don't think that will destroy any breed.

If before there were two meters straight and jumping, okay, you destroyed some dog.

The jumping issues is not... I know...

very bad training systems where they destroy the dog's jumping, when the dogs get afraid of the jump.

You can take the best breed, the best individual dog and destroy them.

And people do stupid things in panic when they start to touch the jump instead of using the head and be calm.
