Hi,
I don't post on here often and now only because I need your help.
I know nothing about schutzhund but as a 72yo farmer living alone in a fairly isolated location in the north of Scotland, I got the best breeding I could after a visit from some undesirables. My GSD female is from Polish-Czech working stock and her father and all grandparents are SCH3, her dam is SCH1. She is with me on the farm during the day and sleeps on my bed at night. I've bred, trained, and worked dogs all my life and I never let one in the house before, let alone on the bed, so that will give you an idea of how highly I rate her. She is without doubt the smartest dog I have ever owned! But time moves on and I realise that the dog will not live for ever. I'd either like to buy a pup off similar breeding or breed a litter (which will be her first) from the bitch. I am not bothered about titles in the immediate ancestry but definitely want a dog bred for work. I reckon I am experienced enough to handle whatever the bred can throw at me. (I was hunting a pack of hounds at 18 and have made up a number of field trial champion gundogs!).
There don't seem to be many working GSDs this far north and I wonder if anyone on here has any suggestions? If I bred a litter, I am not sure if I could find suitable homes for the pups locally but I might be prepared to travel to buy a pup if that was the only alternative. I can see that in the wrong hands these dogs could be a liability as my bitch is very protective.
Do you have any suggestions? If I have to travel, what stud dogs, that you'd recommend, are currently available in the north of the UK?
Thanks for reading!

Have you spoken to the local Police ? They may know of someone; or be able to get you
on a Dog Section's waiting list for a younger adult that doesn't make the grade for active
duty.
