Any info on Wildsteigerland litter? - Page 1

Does anyone have any info on the litter from Javir Talka Marda and kleopha Wildsteigerland? Javir is a gorgeous male and this should be an "interesting" combo of excellent showlines and working lines.Any info would be greatly appreciated. Mark.

Mark, I just recieved an email from Martin Göbl on Thu, 2:48 pm (i've sent an email to him asking information and a picture) and he indeed sent me a picture of 1 of the pups. SOOOOOOOOOO CUTE! I just love sable puppies (I honestly think their way cute!) This litter is the "F" vom Wildsteiger Landhaus. The puppy that he showed me was Faraha vom Wildsteiger Landhaus. She looks so gorgeous. I did ask him if hes planning on keeping her... He haven't yet responded.

Brittany, did he give you any info on the how the litter turned out overall?I emailed about six weeks ago, but I got no reply.

Hi there Mark! They usually don't answer e-mails. I bought what should habe been a promessing male for breeding and working. He's on this site, look for Indiana. If Brittany receives a picture, why doesn't she offer it to us, stead of bragging around? ("SOOOOOO CUTE!")

Please correct: "habe been" to "have been". Sorry.

Jantie, I wish I can send it to you guys, however I do not have permission to do so. It also have a picture (in the background) of somebody else, I guess it's a picture of Martin's wife. It would be an invasion of somebody's privacy. The pupster does look cute. I do hope that they keep it so we can see how she looks when shes gets older. I'm also hoping that they show this pupster too..we need MORE sables in BSZS.

Hi Jantie That Indiana's a real good looking dog.Too bad about the hips, I'm real sorry to hear about that.What did the breeders have to say about this? I too wish Brittany would share the picture with us.

Please delete my other comment Mr./Mrs. Moderator, I touched a button and my comment was gone, and I was not yet finished. Again: Thanks Mark (I'm more than sorry too.) I'm sueing the breeder in court, of course. What did you expect? Didn't do years of "homework" and travel half way across Europe for a dog (out of official "SV-Kör- und Leistungszucht" with red paperwork!) with HD. Every honest (small) breeder will give you a replacement (I know! I wrote a bunch of them = understatement), why wouldn't one of the most famous? I will send you an x-ray of the hip to your e-mail-address. (Story too long for this forum. Example: breeder wants to see the pix, judges them to be bad - focussing on the quality of the picture instead of focussing on the hips!-, never sends them back (so they could not be sent to SV), doesn't respond to e-mail, etc. Everyone knows how it goes.) I'm pi**** off real bad.

Admittedly, I've never bought a pup from outside the US, but it is my understanding that it is HIGHLY unusual for any European breeder to offer either warranty or replacement on puppies they sell. Is there a written contract that specifies the breeder will guarantee the hips on your dog, or provide a replacement in the event the hips were bad, Jantie? You do have my sincere sympathy, having known that disappointment and concern for my dog's future comfort first-hand; it is a bitter pill to swallow, though it is the chance we take when we purchase a pup or immature young dog... Personally, I have no use for a warranty or replacement policy, since I certainly wouldn't give up the dog I'd already become attached to, and I can only do justice to a limited number of dogs in my household, so I've never bothered seeking any such warranties.

Hi there Hexe! Breeder has delivered a new pup (Sit vom Wildsteiger Land (sired by Timo vd Jahnhöhe) to the owners of severely dysplastic Ice (brother to Indiana), thus impressively proving my statement that serious breeders always replace the pups. (I can only tell you WHY they received one in private.) Should you wish to receive written statements of the many breeders that answered my question regarding a guarantee/replacement pup positively, then let me know. It's NOT "unusual", but "common practise". You don't honestly believe breeders and competitors in Germany will deliver each other HD-infected dogs, do you? Topbreeders will NOT let you down. Thanks for your sympathy. You're very nice!
