Atlas vom Wizards Hof - Page 1

A friend of mine is buying a puppy from this combination, Atlas vom Wizards Hof X Bonnie vom Hexenmeister. I would like some opinions on this breeding and some input on Atlas progeny. Thanks in advance, Melanie

What is this? GSDworld or something? why cant we discuss it here besides email?

My email address is Mbecker1@ptd.net. My apologies if I was out of line asking this question. I would just like some info in an effort to learn more about the breed and bloodlines.

It should be OK to ask such a question. This is how people learn. No apology needed.

I will look into for you and get some info...Will post it for you.

Gsdfan-Here is a link on this site to follow. http://www.pedigreedatabase.com/gsd/pedigree/428725.html good looking boy!

GSDfan, Perhaps you should take a look at what Atlas really looks like before the Photo Shop artists at Altenberger Land get a hold of the photo. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v449/GSD/atlas.jpg He has nice structure, but nowhere near the pigment or top-line that has been drawn in. He has done some winning at the club level. Most of his progeny are too young to be given a fair assessment. He is being used predominantly by the Altenberger Land Kennel and friends of theirs in the hope of establishing a progeny group. He is a borderline plush/long coat hence many of the top kennels are shying away from him. Whether he will be a good producer and throw long coats remains to be seen.

Geez,It kills me to do this but I have to agree with Hunter,the dog looks like a nice dog but there is a HUGE difference between the two pictures.Maybe something to keep in mind if buying a dog sight unseen and just from a picture?

I actually saw a video shot of Atlas and he had longer hair than whats on http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v449/GSD/atlas.jpg. I admit that i was judging on the wrong picture but he is almost a longstock coat. He also looks pretty choppy on that picture, like if the breeder was hiding the fact that he has longer coat??? Does anybody have a better quality pictures of atlas besides Blurry pictures?!?!?! In my own opinion if you want to breed and focus more on an Ando son I suggest focusing more on Boy vom Tönsbrock, who i think is better than Atlas, of course. The last i heard of Boy was located in CA, USA. go to http://zwinger-vom-toensbrock.de/Boy_vom_Tonsbrock/boy_vom_tonsbrock.html to learn more about Boy.

Hi Brittany, Thanks for the kind words about Boy. He is enjoying the good life in Southern California with us! I have had Shepherds my whole life and I have to say he is one in a million. We are so grateful to Norbert Schleuter (previous owner) and Ralf Habrock (breeder) for such a wonderful dog! I am trying to learn how to build a website for my work so I practiced by putting one together for Boy - www.vaboy.com, if anyone is interested. I just got it published so it may not be up for another week or so. We are off to the Canadian Sieger show where Boy will be entered - any chance you will be there? Thanks again for the nice words, Debbie and Larry
