Post your pedigree
 

Post a link to your dogs pedigree and lets see if we have any related dogs. I would start but I haven't finished mine yet. So whoever would like to post theirs, go ahead.

All the underlined ones in my signature are hyperlinked to PDB.

Here's Dena's: Dena V TeMar

Keefer's: Lakota V TeMar

And Halo's: Halo von Rokanhaus

In the signature line.

Ari and Anik: Ari von den Thermalquellen

Akina: Akina z Diehlomov

The Fox: Kiokee's Firefox

Nikon and Dena are related through Kevin vom Murrtal. :)

I should probably add my dog one of these days. Here is the mating check I did:

Line-breeding for the progency of Max ze Stribrneho kamene and Gitta s Cagova Raje

Can anyone tell me what all this means in terms of temperament/drives/nerve/health - good or bad?

Linebreeding - 5 generations

• 5 - 5............................................. in SG Mink vom Haus Wittfeld
• 5 - 4............................................. in 1989 WUSV SIEGER Fado von Karthago
• 5 - 4............................................. in V Fax vom Haus Bernhart-Mader
• 5 - 4............................................. in SG Juma vom Petze
• 5 - 4............................................. in Birke vom Lahnufer
• 4 - 3............................................. in V Deika von den Wannaer Höhen
• 4 - 3............................................. in SG Boy vom Pendel Bach

I'm familiar with the name Mink (if it's the same Mink I'm thinking of), but don't recall if what I've read was positive or not so positive, and I don't know a thing about any of the others.

Debbie, what is the actual pedigree? The line breeding looks familiar.

From Mink you could get very good social aggression, usually sound joints, weakness through the loins, LONG backs, some looseness in ligamentation (coming through his grandsire SG Ignaz vom Oberscholvenerweg ), rather ugly structure and heads that lacked a stop, excellent hunt drive/scenting ability, hard resilient dogs (to both their handlers and to the helper in protection). A couple of his sons were said to be handler aggressive, but I have never had issues with this in any of my dogs that were closely bred on Mink.

Deika Wannaer Höhen was a tremendous producer for that kennel. I have also "heard (so, yes, hear-say)" that she was a bit nutty in drive. From the linebreeding I am guessing two of the W litter Wannaer Höhen are found in the pedigree. This was a very good litter of producing males and females. The sire of my D litter (Hannes Spadener Hölz) was out of Wicki.

Boy Pendel Bach was probably my most favorite son of Fado Karthago. The Fado dogs I met and a few I handled had very high prey drive and big grips. They then bred Fado to Juma who brought in excellent aggression (Juma was a super producing female) through her sire and the sire of her mother.

Hope that helps.
