I must say that I think many have forgot the Winerau History and Zamb he was given up and given away. Furthermore, it is all about genes so we must not just look at titles on first glance we must give every GSD with registration a fair chance to acheive and show potential . Too look away were not going to continue the breed and produce further quality GSD that the Captain would be proud of.

WM: "Of course. So the second dog comes into the breed and the better dog is gone. This is a mistake that we must be aware of. The breed is built from good genes, not from good training."
RC: "When did you realize that Zamb would be such a good dog?"
Mrs. Martin: "You know, it wasn't until he was one year old. Walter sold him as a three month old puppy."
WM: "Yes, I sold him. I said the dog was too quiet so I sold him to Italy, but I made a contract by which I would have the right to purchase the dog back at one year. Exactly at one year they came with the dog at 6:00 A.M. to our backyard door. I got up and came to see the dog and said "oh my god." I purchased him for much money…much, much money. And then my wife took Zamb to the training field and he bit immediately. He was young and out of coat because he came from Naples in the south of Italy. Later on we showed him for the first time in Ulm and he came in second. A man came to me later and told me ‘this dog will be a great performer at the shows.' We showed him again under Ernest Beck and he put a little dog in front of Zamb. No one could understand. Finally at the Sieger Show he took the Young dog title. From that moment on he kept going up and up."

So now we are not going to do the necessary steps because we can LOCATE all the genes from momma and daddy! And predict the line up of chromosomes and information splitting... we sure are awesome species.

No, I said and stand behind my comment it is about genes but we must remember history all testing is included in the bettering the breed.

Zamb WAS a GREAT dog who had it all! Including fantastic working abilities which he passed on. I always like when I see him in a pedigree.

But let us not forget that he had generations of exception breeding and titles behind him. He was not a flash in the pan, he was from exceptional stock.

interesting excerpt from the article:
RC: "So what do you do to improve character?"
WM: "Every third generation you must bring in an absolute "idiot." (Laughs.) Yes, one with very quick blood, a wild one. This is very good for the working aspect of the Shepherd. In obedience you see dogs placed on a down and when the handler says "come," it takes them half an hour to stand up."
