"The Waiting List" alumni thread

[Emoore]

The Waiting List thread for people on waiting lists for puppies is over a year old-- hard to believe! Flipping through the early pages of that thread, I noticed a lot of us ended up with different puppies or different breeders than we were originally on the list for.

I thought it would be fun if us "Waiting List alumni" copied and pasted our original waiting list post, and then below it wrote the information for the puppy we ended up with, whether it's the same or different. Some then and now pics would be fun too.

The Meerhout thing just never panned out. That breeding didn't take, and then a 2nd, then a 3rd, then a 4th was born but no males. . . so by that time Kopper's litter had been born and I was interested in them, so I asked for my deposit back.

Do you mean picked up 2/3/11? Kooper is a good looking boy. I think by the time we end up getting our puppy that our entry on the waiting list thread will have changed 3 or 4 times

Thank you! But it's Kopper. Two P's, one O. And yes, that's what I mean. He was born in 2010, so I keep thinking I got him in 2010.

I have been studying, and researching, and waiting for a male working line puppy for about two years.

Well, in a couple respects the puppy thing did not turn out as I had anticipated....I did not want a female, and I previously did not care for black GSDs, although I wasn't shopping color.

I was worried two females would pose a problem as my dogs are family members and spend little time in crate/kennel, so I feared bitch fights.

As it turns out, I did get what I really desired, a dog of rock solid nerve, excellent temperament, deep hard bites with amazingly firm grips, and very biddable....all this and only lacking a penis! Both Indy and Dayna get along just great and both are so kind and gentle with the kids....I love my black lab with pointy ears, and would not trade her for love or money!

I ended up picking him up July 12th.

Here are my before and after pics, click on any to see larger...These are the day I picked him up and a couple of weeks ago, he's only 6 months old now.

"Pan" was born Aug. 30, 2010 and I picked him up in mid October 2010. He now has his SG show rating, AKC Canine Good Citizen, and herding instinct tested. He was two weeks too young for his BH at our trial otherwise I would have done that. I'll be doing hip and elbow a-stamps this winter.









Besides being a little too vocal and low threshold at home at the moment, he's exactly what I wanted and would have predicted.

The transition in the coat of the sable pups is really something to see.....
