If you ever come out to train with DFW Working Dogs you may hear some very technical language. Here is an explanation of some of the terms:

African Wild Dog

A Dutch Shepherd.

Crappen Woppen

An affectionate term for a dog which is a little work-challenged. A 1-1 linebred Crappen Woppen is VERY work-challenged.

Crappen Tracken

A dog whose nose does not always work in the way his handler would like.

He's Biting Me!

A helpful note from the decoy to explain to the handler that they may be a little slow to correct their dog when he is nibbling the sleeve.

He's Crazy!

He has a lot of drive.

He's Not Heeling!

These helpful words are shouted from the sidelines, to explain to the handler that they are a little delinquent in the art of dog training.

Sheperois

(Pronounced 'Sheperwa') A German Shepherd which acts like a mallinois.
