looking for any good showlines studs in Wisconsin - Page 1

i am looking for any good show lines studs in wi, i did try and a ad and not much interest so i thought i ask here, i have a up and coming female which  i am looking for no vegas/yasko line breeding, not intrested in zamp lines, there is just way too many of that lines already,  its very hard as i have found only a few and they are no where near wi. so i thought i ask  if any one knows of any , main thing is they have to be good temp and  a decent all around  stud. would really prefer the older lines.
thanks
 

Does it have to be WI?

Without knowing this male personally or knowing the bloodlines of your female - what about Untox Freiheit Westerholt?

VKGSD, is Alta-Tollhaus Bono your dog? I really like the photo of him that is in the database and IMO his pedigree is topnotch , Quenn and Kirschental. I think Quenn is a precursor for good hips and I feel sure that he is free of the DM gene. I also like it that Bono is titled in so many different venues and that he has been health tested above and beyond most GSD's.  If he's not yours, do you know who owns him? 

Trixx, maybe this dog would be of interest if he's close enough to you and the right bloodlines?


 
 

Yes I own him. That is a pretty recent photo though the color is off, he is very rich red, not that it matters to me but it does to some. I've bred him for the first times very recently, waiting to see what is produced. I take temperament and training very seriously, did not just ship him off to slap a title on so he could breed as soon as he was two years old.  He just turned 5 and is still training and competing, our next event is next weekend.  I intend to keep back a puppy from a breeding we have lined up.  He will be V-rated later this fall.  I intended to finish that much earlier in the year but the show we had planned (still a 7+ hour drive for me since there are NO shows in my state) was canceled.  Two of his sisters have been bred before (they are still owned by the breeder).

He sounds like a great dog with a great owner. I am jealous! He looks very athletic and no carp back is a truly good thing IMO .

VK:  do you have him collected?  If he is truly a great dog and you are using him minimally, why not collect him at least for yourself down the road.  Would be a shame to not have him for later breedings if he is that good.  JMHO  Nan

Don't want to put my foot in my mouth, but VK doesn't own females.  She is willing to use her dog at stud, but does not want to whelp her own litters.  Not that I could blame her, lol

No, I don't own females and have no plans to.  I may have him collected and frozen later.  He JUST turned 5, he's not going to go sterile overnight, lol.  I did a full repro exam with a repro specialist who said his semen is some of the best he's ever seen. I'm waiting to see the results of his first few breedings and see his sisters' puppies grow up before I decided whether to deal with frozen and pay for storage.  Breeding is not really my thing, training and competing is.  He's available if it's a good match, but I don't really campaign him as a stud or plan to breed my own litters.  He has a breeding planned that I will get a male puppy out of if it takes.

Trixx, will you consider chilled or frozen?  If so then you'll have an excellent selection of studs in USA to choose from, especially important I think if you are considering keeping back a pup or two for your breeding program.  


(fyi, the following is off-topic....sorry for hijacking the thread) 
VK, kudos to you, I haven't checked out your male yet, but it's always very respectable when someone is active with their dog in training and trialing.   I don't blame you at all for not being into the breeding part of "the game."    It can be very time consuming, heartbreaking and headache-inducing.  When I was kennel manager at the large labrador and cavalier show/breeding kennel, whelping puppies was one of the tasks that I became largely responsible for because the owner of the kennel hated whelping most of all.   I still "mid-wife" a lot of whelpings for a couple breeders in my area.   I have found that I'm better with the art and mechanics of the breeding and whelping part than I am with the more intensive training and really don't have the mojo for trialing at all  (I'm just a bit too casual and low-key )   But I love hearing of other people who know what they enjoy most and who concentrate on their strengths, versus thinking they have to do it all and therefore spread their individual resources too thin.   It's my opinion that it's best for the dog community when people work together, bringing their own strengths to the table and have symbiotic relationships for the betterment of the breed.
