This is not a stupid question. I have been around many many GSD that were what i like in the 70's 80's and 90's Its there just not like it used to be.

I have a lot of experence with
German Shepherds I have had them sence 1973
American pit bull terriers all through the eights and some of the 90's
Hangin Tree cattle dogs for the last 5 years.

Some experence with
1 Malinois still have her and would not mind having another but would rather have GSD.
I have seen a few pits that were good. I have had 2 that were fair.
Tundra Shepherd   total shit
Collies as a kid tought one to bite when I was in the 5th grade. My dad gave him away after he bit 2 people one being the mail man. Go figgure lol
Rottweiler wellll enough said
Dobermans  morst are more nerve then dog.
1 blue healer  the little basterd bit me more then anything.   hell he bit me more then cattle. lol
3 Fila Brasileiros wow  never again
Border Collie
 

LOL....OK then, keep up the good work.

I think you english is good and is better then some of the English speeking people I know. You have a better view of GSD's  because we are limited by what we have and how far we have to travel to see them here.
I prefer a young dog 10 months to 2 years that would be too much work for IPO

The bad thing about a forum is; there is no tone of what is being said and people do not have to be responsible for what they write. So with that being said, I like all kinds of dogs I just prefer the aggressive hard ones. I used to own this dog. Look at that pedagree and tell me if you like him. I took him to Bakersfield Ca. in 1997 to a little puppy show out there and got V15.

Dear Paul; thanks again for being civil! We are about the same length of time in dogs. I took my first bites from dogs about 1976 and on that day I was smitten& bitten!  On that first day, one dog had enough pressure to pop a pimple and the other was serious. I still see the same range of commitment, and agree the percentage of good dogs should be greater. I have had dogs which put me on notice for my own safety and that of the public. We would look for that and sometimes it found us. I know today I could call Germany and get the type dog you want because every German dog broker I have ever met finds these dogs. They need to find someone to take the dog off of the hands of the owner who is weary of that responcibility. Price is the only issue, they are usually cheaper than the top sport dog.

No photo? I'm not familar with the paternal side of his pedigree, I like the Trienzbachtal dogs on the dam's side. My first 100% imported line GSD was out of a Trienzbachtal dog. I like Gundo's photos very much, he looked like a nice moderate, sound dog.  I'm not into the overdone heavy bodied GSD's that are popular now. They are not athletic enough for me. I don't see many of those Trienzbachtal dogs around today and no one talks about them very much.I was told they were for the most part good working dogs. Maybe Susie knows if they are still breeding.

 I have always thought I'd like to own a Kirschental dog, but I have my last dog so that's not going to happen. Was you Kirschental dog a good one? Named after Silvo on the Sopranos?

Getting old sucks. lol I watched my first bite work while riding my bicycle in the 6th grade. There was an old man holding this breath taking saddle back German Shepherd walking in a big training field. I heard a yell and the dog pulled so hard the man lost his balance and down the field the dog went and hit the helper so hard he knocked him down. That is all I remember, and that is when I was hooked. I went home and started training my Collie to bite. ( bad ending ) about 3 years later I got my first GSD.
You can call me hard headed or a dumbass (eather will work) But I know what I am looking for is somebody's cull and nightmare, and I am not paying big money for it.  Hell when I had Pirry I had several offers for just pay the shipping. My answer was one asshole dog was enough. I miss that dog and can't wait for another.
Please don't get me wrong I am not looking for a free dog, but one" used dog salesman" I know told me "I can find that kind of dog cheap".  Great I said send me some video and he did and what i saw looked pretty good...zero training green dog $5500.00 It was alll I could do to keep from telling him to kiss my ass. If $5500.00 is cheap for a green dog I am glad I did not ask for a Sch 3. It made we wonder if I had "STUPID" tattooed on my forehead and did not know it.

Around 12 years ago had a house fire and lost it all.
Silvo was a middle sized dog that was beautiful agile and fast and a real pleasure to be around. He was very social and his bite work looked as if he was a beast. But in all reality he would not hurt a fly at all but looked good on the field.  His average Sch 3 score was 271 and I think that he was trialed 8 times in working dog trials so he was no turd. The Bakersfield Ca Sieger show he placed V15. The Fullers did not breed man stoppers but they did breed some great dogs, but you do not have to be a man stopper to be a good dog. A great dog does what he is intended to do and fit in it's owners life as part of their world.

paul; '' if you build it, they will come'' from field of dreams. If everyone thought that was the dog they must have, $5500 is cheap! get two females and breeding a program, kiss the 401K good bye and break out the champange. I do  mock a little, but if what you want to own is really out there some one is breeding it right now. 

Oh is out there and I will find it, even if I have to go over there to get it. But I still ani't paying $5500 for something most can't handle and they can't sell. Cuz who in the hell wants a dog you know it's just a matter of time before it bits you or at least will try. Oh crap I do.
