Is it wrong to be picky?

[Chicagocanine]

Thanks for the info! I won't be getting a puppy for a year or two but I'm trying to do the research now so I can have a breeder lined up when I am ready.

No problem. I do highly recommend paulas dogs from what I've seen and through working with her as well. Absolutely perfect temperaments. Unfortunately not going with her dogs right now because of timing. HOME - Ryanhaus Kennel

A lot of the miles river, Ryanhaus, Nordosten, and Berkin Wald dogs are pretty related as I've found out today. Can't really go wrong with any of them it seems!

When you visit her would you please say hi for me.
We have a history.

I bred to her Droll v d Schopf who had to be handled by her husband carmspack leroy - German shepherd dog . 3 progeny , female SAR Maricopa County Sheriffs, a black and tan L/E , and LeRoy who is in so many of my pedigrees.

Then she informed me that she had just imported this big DDR male, Klockow's Lex . I loved the pedigree . This is the direction I wanted to go in, so we brought a female to Lex and got Riggs who was an RCMP dog , and a female who factors in many of my pedigrees . Is it wrong to be picky? .

Thanks Terri --

So what does Terri have now as far as pedigrees . What is special about the pups you were looking at .

you make sure you remind me to her and get contact information so I can have my friend contact her

thank you so much. I look forward to getting back in touch. She would be proud of how her boys contributed to the breed . Nice lady!!!!

Here is a little interesting anecdote. When her Klockows Lex passed away she had one of his canines (fangs) removed . I believe she had it mounted and put on a jewellers chain. His teeth were like T-Rex teeth. Huge. I see that kind of dental power coming through some of the DDR lines. I have a female right now that has this sabre tooth lion teeth.

I had a klockow's wasdy son, he was absolutely the best dog I have ever had, if anyone knows of any similar lines I'd love a heads up

Good luck with your new puppy and no I don't think it's wrong to prefer a certain color as long as temperament/health are your main priorities.
I am wanting another black or very black/bi color male for my next one but of course temp/health have to go along with it")

Hayes Haus kennels in Rowley,MA has very nice working line dogs that are black, black & tan, Bi-color, and sable. They currently have a litter if anyone is interested.

I have worked with him for training and his dogs are wonderful.

I was in line to get a sable from a litter a year and a half ago and the breeding didn't take. Because I wanted a puppy then and didn't want to wait any longer I found Goble which bred sables and had great lines, health, and temperament.

Everything happens for a reason. I am thankful I ended up with Sonar for my first GSD, I think I would have been overwhelmed with a higher drive dog. I now have a better idea of what I am looking for in my next GSD. I couldn't be happier with the choice I made though.
