If you could buy a puppy, any puppy....

**Chris Wild** · 08-11-2010, 10:31 AM

So I am tasked by club member with the job of trying to help her find a puppy for SchH and possibly future breeding. My instructions thus far are pretty much "find what *you* (meaning me) would buy if you were shopping". Ah, what fun I get to have!

I have my eyes on a couple upcoming litters over in Europe, but am still searching to see what is out there. I thought this might be an interesting topic of discussion, and some folks here also might have some good suggestions of breedings to check into that I otherwise wouldn't have come across.

Requirements:
Working lines only. West German, Czech/Slovak, or combo preferred.
Color doesn't matter, though no breed faults of course. Like everyone else it seems, they'd love a dark or black sable, but it isn't at all a priority.
Stock coat.
Middle to upper middle size.
Good health history.
Do NOT want a sporty/prey monger type dog. Strong, but not extreme, drives and must be a balanced dog with correct mix of drives and the genetics to do protection as protection, not a game. Moderate (not low, trigger happy) thresholds. Exceptional nerves. Hard. Biddable. Moderately social. Aloof is fine, but dog must be approachable.

Looking for a puppy, not an adult or green dog.
Location doesn't matter. US would be nice, but willing to import.
Price is not an issue, within reason of course.

Sounds like Raven and Tobi to me.

If I could buy any puppy...and go back in time to before it was sold...I've been watching a male puppy (Griff) at training from this litter that was OUTSTANDING. And just about what you described.

G Litter | Atlanta K9 Academy

I've actually watched a number of dogs from their program. They produce some really exceptional dogs.

Already been chatting with Cliff about it and am seriously looking at a litter in Europe that he and I discussed.

But I'm looking for some more ideas and options as well.

I would go all out and get something straight from Anrebri. That's just me though. I love Czech dogs!

I co-own and imported a Frankie Anrebri son, he is very nice dog.
