Jane, Lisa can steer you in the right direction and answer any questions you may not want to ask in public. I agree with her there dogs of good nerve and work ethic in either line. Although, I own DDR/Czech dogs, there are some black sable German dogs to die for!!

Many people will tell you that there are less health issues with the DDR/Czech dogs....I will not submit this as fact because it would take an empirical testing to "prove". But I will say two things, Having owned West German showlines/DDR/Czech and Wesy workinglines, my anecedotal information is that my Czech and DDR dogs almost never got sick and were very "HARDY" in terms of not being receptive to anything that comes around...that;s just my experience and one of the reasons i like these dogs. Two. it is a fact that when dogs have been line/inbred for generation after generation on a narrow genepool you will start to see recssive ailment become very prevalent or much more so than should be ordinarily....sooooo draw your own conclusions.
