Just wondering, if for the sake of argument, in my mind, Superman was the greatest Super hero, Babe Ruth was the greatest Ball player, Ali, King Kong, Einstein, Pele, etc.
Was/is there a "Greatest German Shepherd" of all time? I know most will say their own dog. Good for you. Except for your own dog, is their a greatest of all time?
Rin tin tin!!! (Haha don't make fun of me, I mean the original rin tin tin who was rescued during war and brought to the US and eventually became a famous actor)
Haha. That's funny. Did he lead to the American line? Was Rin Tin Tin American line, West German or something else? He was in silent pictures right? That would be pre WWII when the GSD came here and became popular. I am probably wrong. I also wonder which dog was the first American show line dog? I have so many irrelevant questions.
Ha that I'm not sure, he was trained by a soldier who rescued him and became super famous, I think one of the first dog actors! I don't know to much about it though (I'm sure I could google it but I'm being lazy lol)
well to one person Faust Busecker Schloss . So many great plans . Apparently the dog was all that and then some. Lost during the war . Tried to find another close to him . The sire of Faust , Onyx is a foundation on West German dogs, DDR dogs, Swedish dogs and probably in the back background of Czech dogs Faust vom Busecker Schloß
Thank you. I will research that. While researching for my puppy, I ran across Zamp Theropos. Was he a great dog or a fan favorite? I would love for my puppy to grow up to look like him. Is that possible? Can I get a dog that will look like Zamp? If possible, please tell me how.
So, there isn't a #1 consensus dog? Was just asking. I'm new. I'm sure you all know who Zamp Thermodos was, right? Where can I buy a dog that looks like that? I'm tired of looking around and reading one ad after another from people claiming to be responsible breeders in the best interest of the breed. Can someone just tell me where to buy a dog like that?
Zamp is a German Show line dog. Dead now, I think, but he has to have a lot of progeny.
There are no short cuts. You can either trust links on the internet to people's different websites, or you can go the whole nine yards and determine whether a breeder is ethical or not. We can possibly give you some names to look at, but ultimately determining whether a breeder is good enough is up to you.
ETA: there is no hurry in finding a breeder for a good pup. It is a decision that will have repercussions for hopefully 10 to 14 years. Do your research and don't rush it.
This>>"I want Zamp"....well...he's dead...so you can't have him....you can find breeders with him in their lines, but unless you hook up with the people that cloned dolly the sheep, get some DNA from Zamp somehow..and clone him, you aren't going to get that exact dog lol.
My previous dog had Zamp in his lines. It was the biggest selling point of the breeder. My dog had a genetic heart condition, liver failure, terrible hips, horrible pigment, nervous issues, skittish, and very very fearful. Doesn't mean that Zamp was bad, but super duper popular dogs like that get misused for the "name" in breedings all the time so the breeder can talk about how that name is in the pedigree.
Zamp was a West German Showline...use the search function, type in "west german showline breeders" and a bunch of recommendations will pop up.
In case you missed it the first time, I posted it two more times below...with a $20,000 budget you can call them up tomorrow and get one by next week I'm sure. Have fun with him!
Von Waldberg kennels owned him. They have 6 young adults for sale right now, 4 planned litters, and a SchH 1 titled female for sale.
Their email address, address and phone numbers are available their site.

the greatest of all time --- has to be the dog that inspired it all, that von Stephanitz used as the ideal , Hektor Linksrhein who was renamed to von Stephanitz' name von Grafath V Horand von Grafrath (Hektor Linksrhein)
