Hi guys, Good question poster....very intersting what you all had to say.... I am also learning here..

Not trying to hijack the post, but since you guys are taking bout these dogs I might be able to get some answers.. if thats okay ofcourse.

I am from Australia so I dont know if the Fero, Troll, Yoshy are the same as the ones I have found in my pups pedigree... would you be able to tell me? I am interested to learn more about his pedigree.

I have seen many many excellent police dogs that were Fero/Mink free.

The girl in my avatar pic is a Mink Granddaughter.  If I could clone her (and end up with a real copy) I would!  Best Dog Ever.

 Ok, but what does that mean ?

Lynx, what happens to the breed if they're all out of Mink/Fero? Kinda boxing yourself in.

They're all out of Horand, so that's as boxed in as any.

Thanks everyone for your replies to my question, "Why would a breeder advertise Mink and Fero free"

By your replies so far the reasons would be that Mink and Fero were:

Used excessively
Were hard Dogs
Were not very handsome

and the term is used as a marketing tool.

Are there any other reasons / opinions?

Thanks,
C

Daryl, we're all out of Adam and Eve, does that mean, my family should just F eachother? I undrstand what you're saying, but if only the Corleone family is breeding, what do you have left?

Nothing critical will happen. All the breed was maked by Stefanitz out of inbreedings.
First on Horand
http://www.pedigreedatabase.com/german_shepherd_dog/pedigree/2051.html

and then on his progeny
http://www.pedigreedatabase.com/german_shepherd_dog/pedigree/1120.html
http://www.pedigreedatabase.com/german_shepherd_dog/pedigree/1081.html

and so on.

Now the GSG breed is very popular in many countries and continents and its bloodlines are wide.
Fero/Mink as well as Horand, Klodo and others are almost out of 5 generations of pedigree. So I do not see a big problem in Fero/Mink.

As for the Adam amd Eve the human history knows the examples of Pharaohs who married their sisters and doughters and lived for thousand of centuries. Nowdays in almost all countries in the world the marriage between 3-3, 2-3, 3-2 is allowed and not an incest. Only close relatives are forbitten. So 3-3 in not so close inbreeding. And we have in GSD breed most of all not closer 4-4.

 Daryl, LMAO at your comment to Don.

I agree w/the posters who said it was simply to offer an alternative. I was thrilled when I found my girl (the one in my avatar) only went back to Fero once (through Timmy) partly because her lines are not what you see over and over again in the "better" West lines and partly because that really opens up breeding opportunities without ending up w/the "same old, same old" linebreeding. 

I don't think it's so much that there's anything wrong w/those dogs or that they're hard to handle as it's just nice to have something a little different.
