Meet Jada-she is a WGR show/working combo also (more working line than show, tho)-produced by a friend of mine using one of my stud dogs-Jada is one of my own personal GSDs.
While she's got 2x SGR VA1 Fanto vom Hirschel SchH3 FH and some foundation Canto Wienerau breeding, her bomb dog mother is line-bred on sable working male V Dasty vom Gries SchH3 FH2 IP3.
What is the result of such breeding? Amazing control without TOO much drive or hyperness. Jada can key up to do beginner schutzhund work on the field, DOES bite, and will happily chase a ball all day long and tussle with the kids--but she's also intelligent enough when I need her to key it down, she understands and can do such-at not even 1 1/2yrs old yet. She recently passed her therapy dog certification April 2008 at 16 mos old (minimum therapy dog age is 12 mos). Does this means she'll lick any stranger who comes up to her? Not on your life, if I don't say it's ok-she's got an explosive bark that lets you know she means business. But if I let her know it's ok, she understands and accepts it. That, to me, is true quality.
My point, Haines, is that show/working combos CAN work nicely for different situations. My young blk/red show/working female I mentioned in a post earlier is a superb all-around package. Jada here has more of a working build (less angulation-not as flashy), but wonderful mind and personality. They both have positive attributes ideal for what I wanted them. Best wishes with your future addition!
