Help finding breeder of my rescue dog-born 9/14/07 - Page 2

I got your smart ass remark first Trickster . I never talked shit about your life . I think you lost .

If the dog was born in the US, and registered litter was in US perhaps you can get info from the AKC registry on Shepherds born on that day??  Pay 'em enough and they'll do most anything... LOL

Beyond that contact the shelter/rescue and try to get the previous owner's name and phone number. They'd b e the ones with the info on where the dog  came from.

This thread started off with a genuine newcomer to our breed asking for help.   It has turned into the vitreolic nonsense that most threads turn to, and lost the reason for the thread again.
GSD Justice.
Do the GSD some Justice if thats what you wish to call yourself, and help people rather than lie around laughing at them.  Remember it is so easy to say the things you have posted, but much more difficult to find the breeder of this dog for this person that has asked in a polite manner, and I am sure he or she didnt expect to get ridiculed.

She looks like a genuine GSD -and whether she is or not, this person has taken her in, and is interested enough in her to want to find her breeder.  
In the UK - our breed is being penalised and our exhibitors and working people ridiculed by the likes of people with your thoughts, which seems to be come on to the board, and pick fault rather than read into the ost and try to help.  Shame on you, that you have shown HorsePhoto a new comer, how petty some can be.

HorsePhoto - keep  your search, and well done for rescuing her.

Mo - Mascani.

She doesn't look like a cross and her pale facial markings are very typical of Eastern European working lines,

What a gorgeous shepherd, good luck finding who bred her and good luck with her.

Wow, doesn't matter to me if she's purebred or not.  She is spayed, and I got a rescue dog, not because I could not afford a "nice" dog, but to keep a dog from being euthanised because she was no longer wanted by whoever owned her before.  I made no claims about her quality or lack thereof.  She is a pet, end of story.  I appreciate that some people were friendly and helpful, but the others of you have certainly turned me off of this forum, not to mention dog breeders and fanciers in general.  Years ago I had a rescue horse, with a lip tattoo (done with race horses for id) and two brands, and access to his previous two owners.  I still did not get very far, except to id his breed and one of the brand's owners.  Still, it was the search that was fun and the possibility of finding out some information.  I had never had a dog where I was given a birthdate (this is my third dog, all rescues) so I thought that it was something to start with.  I would not have assumed much of anything about her had her previous owner not told the shelter she was a pb with papers and given them a birthdate.  I was not looking for her history with an eye to breed her and sell her pups or any nonsense like that.  As I mentioned, she is spayed, and the search was purely for my own knowledge and entertainment.  I was pointed to this forum by a breeder, but with the attitude, I will certainly not bother  to attempt to get help here again.

Hey Oni. I'm sorry you had to experience such negativity on your first post. Congrats on a great looking dog. Some on the most loyal dogs out there are rescues. I'm sure you will enjoy her for years to come. Good luck with your search!!

Wow Justice, aren't you just a positive one... If my memory serves me correct, you were quite insulted by the criticism you received regarding your final kennel choices. That being said, why would you then critique someone else in the same fashion that so insulted you?... Please at least try to be civil as there are individuals on this board that would find encouragement and direction more useful than critique and disdain. I'm sure you would have appreciated the same courtesy.

Horsephoto do not give up . The cream color is that of east lines but the head shape looks more west working to me .She could be a easty westy cross with some American or German show line thrown in for good measure . See if any kennels in your area sell that particular mixing of  the lines . I know people do not want to believe some breeders mix up the bloodlines but they do .look in a three state area of kennels . Start in the kennel section of this database .Happy hunting to you . I have a 9 year old rescue spayed female .I got her when she was two .I have no idea what her bloodlines are but I sure do love her .

Oni,

Congratulations to you for rescuing your beautiful girl. If more people had your kind heart, there wouldn't be nearly as many wonderful GSDs being euthanized.  As for the harsh and critical people on this board, please don't let them keep you away and  know there are MANY people here that are extremely helpful. I have learned a trmemendous amount from the people on this board, but you just have to sift through the rudeness and nonsense.

I wish you the very best in finding out the history of your very pretty girl. She is lucky to have you!

The best,
Char
