Trying to find my late dogs lineage anywhere!

Also - www.aus-agrigento.de is Wallace's kennel. They don't have any litters planned now, but if you contact them, I am sure they can match you to a dog out of the same lineage. They do have a couple of older pups available.

I think it is worth traveling rather than buy in CT .....

Jimmy Arminius was with Jeff Lund at Schneiden Fels....that is why I mentioned him.....I think Alta Tollhaus also used him ...some board members here a few years ago bought pups from Jeff and were happy....

Would you mind me asking why you would not buy from them? Is there anyone you would recommend that does have the line? Maybe if I have some more information on what we are looking for? I'm sorry to be a pain we just really want to make sure we are getting the right dog from the right people. We are looking for primarily a family pet good with children but also a protector of those children. Walles was initially intended for schutzhund training but they found him to be to timid but that doesn't mean he couldn't be a wonderful companion. He walked the house at night checking on everyone and loved to play fetch even if half the time we would have to go get the ball with him! He also liked tug of war (I know a controversial game) but it worked for us. He had no health issues until he was 11 they found a small murmur and in the end it was cancer that took him. The only thing I would have ever changed sour Walles was how he passed away, I would have fathered natural causes. But I believe 11 was a good age for a large breed dog.

Does this help ? Again sorry if I am being a pain

Just personally, I like to support breeders that run their breeding program a certain way. I like when competitors and exhibitors behave in a professional manner. Every breeder will be sugar and spice when they are trying to sell you something - a person's true character comes out when a situation turns sour....then you will see who is truly honorable. I like breeders that play fair and put the necessary effort into accomplishing their dogs. I'll just leave it at that

Running out for a sec, but I'll come back and list some breeders I like in your area. You can of course ship internationally or from across USA, but when searching for a nice family pet, I bet you could find nice breedings in your area or close.

I wouldn't buy from Wilhendorf either.

Yes, Jeff owned Jimmy for a while. Jimmy is a NICE dog, NICE work (at least what I saw of him years back). The "A" and "C" Alta-Tollhaus litters were by Jimmy. No long coats since Jimmy is not long coat factor. Of the "A"s only two remain (both males, both neutered I believe...at least, one is owned by my good friend and her dog is neutered, the other went to a couple in Florida who were doing HRD but I haven't heard from them in probably 2 years). The "C" litter was a male and female. The male has been sold and the female Cadence is still owned and used for breeding at Alta-Tollhaus. I'm pretty sure Jeff sold Jimmy a few years ago, not sure where he is now.
