DDR/Czech West line Mixes?

Kind of like saying Am SL & WG SL's are alike.
I really don't get the reason to blend DDR/WGSL's but I guess the proof will be told eventually, though waiting would be tough, especially if you want to repeat a breeding.

I should clarify...if the dog is showing unstable temperament, it won't get better with maturity....but a dog that may not show certain behaviors/ those may come out eventually with maturity. RE: prey drive/defense, or suspicion early on may change as the dog matures. But a dog without a solid nerve-base won't change when older.

I raised a pup from a working/show line cross, Bagheera de Alsuvival, from 2 to 8 months old and I keep working with her weekly. NOT a dog I'd own, ever.

Just me, but Falk is not a dog I would consider mixing with SLs.
