Any opinions on this guy? His progeny? Anything to look out for if you were thinking of getting a dog out of one of his progeny? The good, the bad, and the ugly!
Wow! What a looker! One thing you'd have to look out for as for as his progeny goes, that if they look anything like their dad, people like me might just show up to steal the puppies! So . . . be careful!
Here's Sasha, at two years old now, a grandaughter of Nando through Sando vom Haus Iris. My only complaint is that she's a soft dog, but a full brother I owned to 1 yr. age was not.
He would be a grandfather. The potential sire is Birko vom Haus Seefeldt--but I asked about him before.
Hence why I decided to focus on Nando this time 'round to get a better view of the whole picture. Everything behind this dog.
Sasha is absolutely stunning! Alf is quite handsome as well. That's one thing I've noticed looking through Nando's kids and grandkids: they all have really nice structure and it's all very similar.
I know and have talked to the previous owner of Nando. He trained Nando to the BSP. Nando was a pure DDr dog and at the time he was born, the East Germans were basically holding a fire sale on their dogs. West Germans and Americans were going to the DDR and buying up GSDs by the dozen. Nando's owner is a very knowledgeable dog person and he tested over a hundred dogs before he picked Nando.
He said it was a lot of work to bring Nando to the BSP, more work than a good West German line dog, but then DDR dogs were never bred to be sport dogs. He'll also admit that Nando had such nice color that it was also a factor. Yes, even working line people do care for looks.
DDR breeding was oriented toward producing show dogs that could work. Work being defined as tracking and herding not dog sports. Essentially the same philosophy that West Germn breeders had in the 60s before the lines bifurcated into show and working.
Posting for info on my dogs pedigree. I do a lot of researching and viewing pedigrees/kennels in my spare times. Who are the key dogs and what are their traits? Anyway, any info. Good bad and indifferent appreciated...
As the title asks, Why wasn't Hank vom Weinbergblick a more prolific producers?
Dog won the WUSV three times and BSP twice, so he's quite accomplished. Was he not a very good producers or just never made the rounds, so to speak?
Are there any breeders in Germany that have specific lines they use for herding?
Do they use German Shepherds for herding anymore? Or is that part which the dog was bred to do, totally bred out of German Shepherd gone?
Kirschental is gone, and it looks like there are only two camps now. The...
Hello!
I'm researching my future dogs pedigree and I'm looking at the linebreeding appearing in his three generation pedigree. Looking at the dogs that those dogs are linebred on, if that makes sense.
I've been able to find a lot of information on the forum so far but I can't seem to find...
