DDR Question 1st time shepherd owner

tami97 · 09-30-2011, 01:27 AM

Ok Shasta is the 1st german shepherd we have owned. Our breader said she was a ddr shepherd. What does that mean?

Deutsche Demokratische Republik aka East German working lines.

Thanks. Now I can look it up.

What are you looking to know? About your specific dogs lines or DDR/East German lines in general?

Post the pedigree if you want to know specifically about your dog.

If she is the dog in your avatar, she does not look like she has much DDR. If you can post a pedigree we can give you more information.

ddr shepherd -- by and large marketing niche .

There are some old timers still in Germany that were breeders of ddr when there still was geo politic isolation . They breed for work and they have extensive personal knowledge of the dogs in the background.

here it is for cosmetics , the bone ! the head ! the colour ! ----
but truly these are not correct to ddr dogs if you do the research.

Recently someone posted a link to a "grafental" dog and there were lots of ooohs and aaahs about his head , bear - like -- which was just plain wrong , not at all representative of a good ddr head, not at all representative of a good gsd head , not at all near the standard .

I too would be curious to see the pedigree.

yep she is the on in the pic. ok just call me stupid but is the pedigree the paper I will get from akc with going back 3 generations? Sorry always had mix dogs. First time with all of this. I do have pics of her grandparents and Im asking the breed for pics of her parents. I really dont care what she is she is my baby

I have not got my akc papers yet. The breeder said that I could get one that shows 3 generations back. I need to get it, i keep forgetting. Thanks for everyones help. I really dont know too much about the breed, except that she would need training and a lot of exercise.

She did give me a name for the female.

Pics aren't showing up?

If you could give us her parents' names we might be able to track something down.

I'm no pedigree expert, but that looks more like a typical American pet line pedigree to me...
