Czech line breeding question :)

[Kev]

Hi, in my previous thread I was told that my pup that I will be getting in 6 weeks might develop an active social aggression (sharp). My question is, based on the pedigree, how can you tell if a dog will be aggressive or not?
Mother:
Millview's Rhea Mila of ACM - German Shepherd Dog

[Kev]

Forgot to mention, which dog in the pedigree is the main culprit for dominance issues?

[cliffson1]

Though your dog is linebred on Cordan, who did produce very good active aggression, the pedigree is balanced through the sire side with tremendous nerve through Bax, Orna, Cheers, etc. The pedigree is not as important as making sure you get a good balanced puppy of which there will be some in the litter and you should make sure the breeder knows you want a balanced pup.

Who is the sire of the litter?

Would love the other half of the story . Sire's pedigree?

[krylos]

Nevermind, I found it in your other thread... Is this correct?

As far as being nervy goes,one should look to the parents. The main problem I see is that it appears that neither parent is titled nor trained. Breeding partners should be thoroughly trained in order to properly evaluate drive and temperament.
Have both parents had hip evals?

While the parents can be a good indication of what to expect - the pedigree is VERY important and a "blueprint" of what characteristics are possible in the litter, and where the parents got their character.

Sorry - I have seen wonderful parents throw absolute nerve bags...I was looking at pups for a friend of a friend and know both parents...but a portion of the litter had poor nerves....the same very nice, very well bred solid female had had a litter to a well known high profile German male - littermate to a BSP winner - and again, nervy pups. Came from 2 sources in the pedigree for sure....

When 3 Czech breeders/trainers tell me DO NOT LINEBREED on so and so....men who personally saw the dog and his offspring, I take heed, and find something else.

Yes, I noticed that the parents aren't titled either. However the breeder does prove his dogs are capable of working through the dam and the dam's mother. As far as the Sire goes, I also know that he comes from a breeder that works their dogs too.

I am not sure if you are referring to the same litter but I've seen it too. Very nice pedigree but half the litter didn't turn out as it should have been. I know three dogs out of that litter personally and all three of them had issues. One of them is actively worked. He's still a very nice working dog. He underwent a LOT of training and is stable as far as I'm concerned. The owner knows his quirks and she does not put him through certain situations that could set him off. If you'd saw him now, you wouldn't know. However, put through certain situations, it'll show.


As for Czech dogs. I just stay away from them. I leave them to people that know their lines and know how to use them.

I stick to my west german working lines.
