breeding advice - Page 2

It should be obvious you were deviating yourself, skirting the question while missing a great opportunity at making a sensible and helpful post, as Euroshepherd has.  Whether or not you gained half a brain of dog knowledge over the years, rest assured, you have NOT gained half a brain :-(  Has it really come to YOU, of all people, to be condescending the members of this board?!

I'm going to half apologize for that comment, as I confused you with another of Eurosport's broker friends.

OP, I don't know how knowledgeable the owner is, but when I buy a dog it is for a reason. I like the parents, pedigree, drive, aggression, etc. I would think an owner would have their own goals in mind. What does this person want to produce? Tomatoes or a kick ass dog? Obviously, you like what you have in the female or you wouldn't want her pleasured, right? So what are we looking for in the male.

To answer a few questions here. I do not own this dog. After seeing her work , I wouldn't mind owning her though.  There are buyers for the pups. I do not know about a breed survey but will ask. From seeing the dog it has good aggression in bitework but can also curl up at your feet at home. Very protective of her territory and family.  She tracks with a deep nose, steady and confidently.  Her conformation is similar to her Brothers but as I stated she is smaller but in standard for size.  I need to see her drives.  The owner is looking to breed for working puppies.
Now to address another issue that is a continuing aggravating and annoying occurance to those of us on here who ask questions and are trying to learn. If you have a dispute with someone on this form many of us are sick and tired of you hi jacking our threads to throw dirt at one another. I am asking nicely that you guys take your beef to the PM's and leave the rest of us out of it. You all are childish and rude to say the least and I would hope the moderators would step in at some time to shut you guys up.   Now , if you have something to add to this particualr discussion, please do so, otherwise stay out of it.

According to the HD-Zuchtwerte standings, the dam with the a3 hips is producing a LOT better than the sire with the a1 hips.  So, more because of her sire, a breeding to an improved hip producer might be considered.  I wouldn't give a damn about a DM until a reliable test becomes available.  It could be encouraged to attempt to determine if any near family (siblings, parent's siblings) have deveoped any heritable health conditions.  Once you determine the points for preservation and improvement, the path becomes a little clearer for mate selection.  If it were me, I'd want to retain that ability to settle, utilizing a stud that demonstrates clear control of it's drives.

   Since I am familiar with    Iska, the Dam of   Myah, whom I have posted about and pictured here many times,

    SG Iska vom Kapbusch     , it would be a very good phone call to make to Meerhout, and speak with    the owner of Iska as he can probably help you with many answers to your lady friends questions .
    If you  would like to find out about the abilities of MYAH, an Iska daughter out of Lago , Larry Vzants sire, you can pm or email   Dave Kroyer  , google on our website.

  Both of these men have had hands on with the Kapbusch line

yr - excellent suggestions......

maybe if people have to ask others what male to use, they shouldnot be breeding at all puppies enough that have a hard time finding a new home

LOL

 MY first reaction was, like DUKE,,where is the schutzhund club leadership???

 Who sold her this dog, and why has no mentor stepped up to this situation?
Maybe we are wrong, maybe she just wanted someone else's suggestions.

 Puzzles me why people buy dogs ,and do not know WHO to go to for info or help?
   But that is why we are all here, to  PROD the info to the right place, right?

in some of these type of questions I feel like people are trying to draw attention and presell some pups, im not saying that this is the case here at all , but if you dont have a clue what you are looking at or looking for, better not to breed at all .

think about what can also happen, medical complications , healthproblems on pups, directly, or later on after they are sold ,who will be your puppybuyers, and will they be good for what im producing,will pups be too much for them , or to little.

 better do your homework first, look around, figure out what kind of dogs you want to breed , talk to people , train your dog(s) talk to breeders, read alot, until you are able to make well thought out choices and than become a breeder instead of somebody who is producing yet another litter
