Puppy Pedigree Help

[gsdniko]

I am looking at a pup from this litter and wanted to get everyone's feedback on what I can expect as far as drives, temperment, etc...

Zwack vom Holzwinkel x Pascha von Wyndmoor
Link to Mating Test

• 5 - 4................................ in V Troll von der bösen Nachbarschaft
• 4 - 3............................................. in V Aly vom Vordersteinwald
• 5 - 4............................................. in SG Afra vom Haus Feller

From what I've read Aly will provide good drives and hips, not sure of the rest though. Also, are these pure west German lines or is there any DDR/Czech mixed in there? Since I can't find sites for most of the dogs I'm having a hard time learning their background. Thanks!

Yes, this is pretty much a west German working line pedigree. I know Zwack's sire rather well and have seen a number of his offspring and his littermates. I like Javir very much (so much I flew to Germany to breed Vala to him) and I have liked the pups I have seen and also his littermates. All are very confident/clear dogs with excellent drives and fight in protection. Most are also house dogs.

Aly was a very good dog. Strong dog, lots of fight, plus the good hip production. I, personally, like him coming through his daughters Vs. through his sons. Javir's owner has a son of his linebred on Aly that is an extremely nice dog. Very strong in protection with a lot of fight, excellent in tracking and very very nice obedience.

I saw Basko v.d. Lutter trial when he was older. Very solid dog that trialed consistenly for many years, but not a dog that really excited me (and I am not talking flash). I have never seen any of his kids.

Chris Wild had a couple of litters by Ernst so she can tell you about him.

Thanks so much Lisa. It's especially nice hearing from someone who had the opportunity to meet the dogs in person. Very much appreciate your input.
