To be honest, most of the pp dogs I have seen, are way too weak to do the sport. In no way do I think it is right, but it is my experience. I feel that any dog someone was going to count on in a bad situation should at least be strong enough to do sport.
The other thing that I see is really badly trained PP dogs, that while they might do sport, the owners really only want to see the dog do bitework, and never work OB. I have tried to help friends with their \"awesome\" PP dog tranfer over to sport, but the dog could not deal with the control necessary to do the work.
The bottom line is it is not the sport, or PP that is going to save you in a bad situation, it is the dog. Honestly evaluate your dog. Is he really going to be there?
