Hi. Sorry to be another person posting to ask about pedigrees, but ...
This question actually relates to our prior GSD so no real questions at all about health, hips, elbows, etc. seeing as how she's no longer with us. Just more idle curiosity as it is something that I was always wondering about. Coming up now because I finally got around to registering our current GSD and that let to poking around and going down memory lane. Certain that our breeder was a BYB last time around. We got her for $300 and we were told it was an "unplanned" litter, which I always found a little odd. I don't know if she was WL or SL, but certainly assume she was SL. She had a really great, gentle temperament, moderate drive, great with dogs and people, a bit leash reactive with unknown dogs who were giving off a dominant vibe, but that's really the only complaint (that and her chronic digestive issues from EPI). Anyway...
The dam's info is here: Princess Zaida Valda Von Klar
It would appear the dam was 10 months old when she gave birth and must have been bred basically in the first heat, then, if I understand correctly. If this were a professional breeder, I imagine that is something they wouldn't do. I have no reason to know/think that, but just strikes me as you'd want your breeding female to get a little older. If for no physical reason, then just to know more about how the dog develops behavioral, etc? Tell me if I'm off-base there.
It looks like there are two dogs in our old girl's maternal lineage with some type of title or rating, but otherwise nothing jumps out to my untrained eye.
The sire's info is here: Lo Ghan San Von Der Haus Chi
Appears to me that there are some titles on this side, which is interesting. The breeder had told me that a lot of the dogs in her lineage were police dogs so maybe the sire's side contributed to that (if true in any case, which, who knows). Looks like paternal grandfather for our dog (Wildmarkens Tito) had a full write-up.
But here's something interesting, I guess. On the sire's maternal side, if I'm reading this correctly, our dog's great grandfather was 2x USA DPO champion and great grandfather was 3x DDR Sieger European Champion. What??? Would love some insight if these mean anything to anyone. I would assume so-called "champion" dogs are used for plenty of breeding so maybe it's not that much of a surprise to find that 3 and 4 generations back?
I tried to do enough research to kick it off and hopefully make it easier to share input. Grateful for thoughts from folks who don't mind taking a few minutes to offer them as I try to satisfy a little idle curiosity from strolling down memory lane - thank you!
