First German Shepherd !!
Heys guys, I bought a white Shepherd and recently received his 3 generation Pedigree. and I bought the 5 generation Research Pedigree online through AKC. I do not plan on breeding but I love learning new things and I have never even Imagined all this could be so engulfing . My question is , I was asked about his bloodlines and I had no idea what he was talking about. How do I understand his pedigree and what does DNA profile mean? and OFH42 mean ? I have so many questions. I guess my first question is how do i know if his bloodlines are good?

 If you can post your dogs pedigree or the registered names of the sire and dam someone might be able to tell you more about where he came from. Did you buy him from a breeder you can talk to or no? DNA profiling - It can be done for a few reasons, more info can be found here American Kennel Club - DNA Certification Program If you don't get an answer for the OFA question, go to the Health section and make the subject line something like Can you explain this OFA score? Congrats on your new pup btw!

Registered names are , Sir Baron Von Wiess & Mary's Diamond Val Gal .
Yes I talked to the breeder and she is the one who told me to register him, and get the AKC DNA profile done. Thanks again. Any help would be appreciated. |

The OFA42F means the dog was OFA'd at 42 months of age and received a "fair" rating for hips.

Would you happen to know anything about the names I listed. I.E. good bloodlines ??
I have the Research 5 generation that goes back to Names like Adolf Von Heisterberg & Baron Von Heidelberg & Eve Von Heisterberg but I have no clue what those names mean or stand for.... such as good protectors or highly driven etc...

Heidelberg is show lines. I believe LukasGSD has a dog, or dogs, from Heisterberg lines. This is me reaching way back into the memory banks and I could be wrong, but I believe Heisterberg bred working dogs for a long time in Texas, but the owner recently passed?
