Question about Posted Dog

MegansGrace · 09-17-2011, 09:36 PM

I'm not considering getting this dog by any means ... I'm just curious about her pedigree.

This is the link to the dog's pedigree: Spirited's Charisma Von Der Shap Haus - German Shepherd Dog

She's an adorable long coated sable

She's described as a 50% Czech (on dam's side) and American Showline/German Working Line (I'm guessing that means WGWL) on the sire's side. Does her pedigree match that description?

Thoughts?

Hopefully Christine will see your thread, and share.... cute pup!

I see west workinglines, American lines, west showlines and East German lines. All wonderful lines....she's a pretty dog.

FWIW, the sire is not one of my dogs. I've never bred American lines--although I did start in schutzhund with an American dog who I trained to a Sch3, CDX, I never bred him.

The mom is DDR bloodlines, it looks like. Not sure on the sire.

BlackthornGSD: That's what I thought. I checked out your website (and your gorgeous dogs

) and didn't see anything that matched up.

Yeah, she's got a little bit of everything. She looks like she just had a bath!

There must be something wrong with my screen. Her withers are way lower
than her back. Maybe it's just the pose and an optical illusion?
Probably her coat is fluffed up in back.

This is where we just got our puppy. We met Margaret and all of her dogs in May, including Becket and Orion. We're so happy with our Tessa.

Yeah, hence my comment about just having had a bath. It's hard to get a feel for her conformation since her coat is kind of sticky-outy all over.

If I were looking I would ask about hip x-rays etc.

I realize it looks like the pedigree was just dumped in and any titles or anything not listed but did not see too many hip ratings (even for some that were listed as OFA Good) on the OFA web site.
