Hi and welcome to the forum!
Have you googled anything about this? People here don't mind helping and answering questions, but if you search for difference in American/czech GSD, a lot of stuff comes up

About the best lines.. I don't have knowledge about that

along with the link above, It might be easier for you to tell us what you are looking for in a dog? Temperament, high energy, low-medium energy,,do you have plans as in showing in obed/agility/schutzhund?

I do know Ace here on the board has a dog from Hans..I don't know Hans personally, but I would take one of his dogs in a heartbeat, he is very knowledgeable.

Here on the board, you could seek out Cliff, Carmspack, Wildhaus,Andaka, Blackthorne, Kleinenhain, GSDBestk9, to name a few breeders with differing lines.

Yea I got my pup from Hans. EVERYONE loves Jax. I just got his pink papers 2 weeks ago. Soooo cool.

How do I feel about my czech pup?? He is a @sshole. He is a super high drive pup that can work the nerves of mother theresa. I may be harsh today as last night, I left him downstairs for only 10 minutes and when I came back down, he chewed up a resume that I was working on for someone.

It was in pieces. P*ssed doesn't even describe how I felt. But it was my fault, I just thought he was out of that stage.

You gotta be careful when you ask for these dogs. I wanted a high drive pup for SchH and PP and I'll be d*mned if I didn't get that and more. I just dream about the day when he get around 2 and is able to settle down in the house. Right now though I have a 7 month old spawn of satan.

Seriously though read up of the differences and REALLY be honest with yourself as to what you want, can handle and are willing to spend the money and time into training them. I learned to be careful what you ask for.

Jakoda....he is going to you for the summer.

I need a break.

I have a Czech pup and I tell you, they have HIGH drive, intensely high drives, so if your not sure if you want to do SchH with him, or WORK him. I suggest going a different route, Killian has LOADS of energy and attitude. Don't tick him off, because if you leave something out and he is mad at you, he WILL chew it. LOL! Even if you just walked him!! Your not supposed to leave anything out anyways, but I'm talking about stuff you wouldn't think he'd eat. LOL!

They have HIGH drive and LOADS of working energy. Not very content just being a lazy housedog!

**jocoyn** · 03-10-2011, 02:05 PM

But I have a czech/ddr with very nice drives and a very nice off switch. And a west german working lines girl who will drive you crazy. I think you need to know what attributes you are looking for in a dog moreso than the origins. I think there is much overlap.

Guess it is all relative......one persons high is another persons couch potato. At 8 the dog will still chew on anything if he gets bored and has to work.....

I coudln't agree more. My lab at home is LAZY, so if Killian wants to play, for me thats energy. When it's unlimited energy, I'm shocked.

Everybody has different perspectives! ;-) Good point Jocoyn!!

I like this quote of Kendra's.

It's true.

Some litters have pups with high, medium and lower drive.

I have 2 littermates from mostly Czech/DDR lines.
One is a wild child in the house, eats anything including walls. This one also has a leg injury that limits his exercise. The other is almost an angel. Occassional munching of a remote, pair of shoes or hat; but that is to be expected.

Both are very active and energetic dogs and strongwilled. Big thing to watch for is true protective instincts. Some of these dogs will not let the meter-reader in and take joy in terrorizing the UPS guy (if allowed).
Also, the quickness to react aggressively. One of mine will aggress very, very quickly. The other takes more provocation. But the aggression is there and if you do not like/want that then perhaps a different breed/type?

Last thing.... dog aggression. Mine are fine with other non-threatening dogs. Poodles, German Shepherds, whatever. But they do not tolerate any other (especially male) dog to even look crosswise at them. Nor do they tolerate each other.
