Nobody has answered my questions about OES. I'm getting a puppy in a
class,
and I know nothing about this breed. Any experience with them out there?

the only one I really know attacked kavik on sight. I did meet one at the
dog show who was lovely and sweet and slow moving.

There was one OES in a class that I was in and he was handled by an older
woman who claimed to have OES's all her life. They didn't go far and dropped
out after 1 session. She could barely control this huge dog who was a real
puller and would not pay attention to her. For the dog's benefit, the woman
did not listen to the trainer much even when given instruction on how to
stop the pulling or to put something other than a slip collar on the dog.

FWIW, I have yet to see an OES at an Obedience trial--before I get jumped on
for saying this (like when I mentioned something similar about Wheatons),
I'm sure there are OES's out there w/titles I'm just stating what I've seen.
