Still, I am not an expert. So consult one before doing something.


As far as temperament, I am a bit more knowledgeable there then with vet stuff.
It depends on factors that are more about is the dog already vicious.


I guess most people want to cuddle with their yorkie & play games, like fetch or rope, rather than supposed big dog activities. However, rope, fetch, or stuff toys (that look like animals) can bring out aggressiveness in some dogs.


I don't see how Schutzhund would be any different.

Its not good for their teeth and jaws and I feel like that is a sure thing. Generally dogs who are used for fighting are trained that way so I am fully against it in a big dog or a small dog. Just because a dog is small doesn't mean it is weak and it doesn't mean it was breed poorly if it is small and weak.
