I think it's cool, personally. If a dog has an aptitude, why not maximize it?

One of the first dogs I ever bred, Vera's Ch Cinnamon, was almost a triple-crown winner. She was a conformation Champion, a Shutzhund titlist, and she was a 2xW to boot.

Wish I would have got into more stuff like that myself. I have had many dogs that I think would have done well like that. They were badass dogs, but mellow around other dogs, yet smart, athletic as hell, and on point.
