I need help reviewing a puppies pedigree... - Page 1

Hi, hope all is well, I am hoping to read any positive comments/criticisms on these pedigree and if I should buy a puppy from these parents. This is the sire SG Jalk vom st. michaels-berg This is the dame Connie Von Blacksmith-land

If your after showline blood I would pick a breeding with higher VA rated dogs in the ped

What are your plans for the pup? Without understanding your goals then pedigree critique is pretty subjective. 

Can you give us a link for Jalk;  Connie seems OK in conformation, pasterns look a little weak with splayed feet, topline sloping with steep croup and a very well angulated rear, probably outdrives her front as her shoulder could use more angle;  very pretty girl nice long neck.  I did not see health clearances, no HD/ED scores, NO DM clearance??  Eyes, Thyroid,, etc. etc.

I would not buy from ANY breeder that does not do these things.  These clearances need to be done on both sire and dam.  Best of luck in finding your puppy,  Nan

if your intrested in a show dog , i really dont like the mom pedigree, the dad is fine. but the mom is not OFA , so i would worry about that plus many in her pedigree that are not hip cert. i would not use a pup from this mom for breeding , i would say for pets her pups would be fine. i guess it depends on your plans for the puppy and like other  have said at min , both parents should have there hips done.
