"American Kennels need to start embracing the concept of frozen semen a lot more than at the present! "
I have offered to give away semen from my male if someone wants to come and take it from him as long as they save a bit for me. Nobody has taken me up on that offer yet.
Just because I bought myself a nice male, it doesn't mean I want to spend my life running back and forth to the Detroit airport which is a good 3 1/2 hour trip one way. People are welcome to use him if they want to bring their females here and I've even driven to other places that are within reasonable distance. I don't have the extra space or time to take in females on a regular basis. I am breeding an outside bitch right now and I'm having to take her to work with me because she hates the other female dogs so much and I don't want her stressed out. Complete pain in the ass but she's a bitch I don't mind going the extra mile with.

Your right MI_GSD it is a lot of work and running around. Yet I believe in the process and dont believe A I benifits the breed, any breed. Call me Mr. Natural if you like, old fasioned and a believer in the natural order of life.

Most of the dogs I could recommend only have young offspring. Molly already mentioned Eich v.d. Berger Hochburg. Others to look at would be dogs coming down from Asko v.d. Lutter. Sons in the USA are Kway Posthorn and Mücke Haus Vortkamp. I haven't seen what Mücke produces, but sure am liking the litter I had by Kway. The nerves and intensity are exceptional. Another dog to consider would be Andy Maly Vah. Retired dual purpose PSD with exceptional nerves and character which he seems to be producing. His pups are also young.
I already mentioned Asko, but also look for Arek Stoffelblick and other dogs coming down from Matsch Bungalow; Mink through Iko, Jenni, Jalk Lindenhalle, Crok and Asko Parkstraße; Tom van 't Leefdaalhof has also produced PSD and some of his sons have produced very serious dogs that also have exceptional nerves (Jabina Haig to name one). I wish Belschik Eichen-Bruche had been used more when he came over here.
I see AI as an excellent tool when used with diligence. When used to breed females that would never stand for a male or for males with poor libido or other reasons that they can't breed naturally it is NOT a good thing.

Swift way to go man and those people who saying my money my dog i can do whatever i want really nice and grown up attitude and the one that would really help improve the breed which is the concern of every one who is breeding german shephers these days.Although i do not know why because there is nothing wrong with german shepher as i said before.Another thing i like to say is that Americans are breeding german sheherds how long and still can only show you the best dog which they imported.that alone says it all.if germans and others in europe are not buying dogs from you this should tell you all breeders something.have a nice one.

The game never changes. People moan and bitch about the same BS year after year. I have heard this crap about how much tougher the dogs were 10 or 15 years ago every damn year since 1981. The dogs are the same, training methods have changed, and myths always get bigger. People just parrot what they have heard over and over again.

Frozen is expensive to collect at 700.00 for the vet fees, special box, shipping to the bank in Calf. and yearly storage fees plus my dog will not allow to be collected even with a teaser bitch, we tried several times and he is too dominate to let the vet do this, so again it is not as easy as one sees on the surface.
I talked to Zidane about shaving him some poddle balls and he said that would be great as long as he gets to sleep in the bed and no number 2 blades!
People think outside stud service is a snap and if I lived next door to the airport still not something I would want to do on a regular basis. I am sure most experienced breeders can idenify breeding a first time female who wants to eat you and your stud dog and the fact it takes two people to breed this type of female with risk of injury to your dog and yourself. The responsibility of the dog while it is in your care as well and some females when transported get stressed and go out of heat which again you will be blamed not to mention if they do not take all of this to do over again.
I have never understood why some people think you are obligated to breed your dog if this is not your choosing . When you do agree to outside service and tell them a price some people complain about that as well so it is a no win deal either way you go someone will have a beef.
I had a stranger stop here with a dirty, ragged, spooky, cowed shepherd tied in his pickup truck bed (american) no papers, no xrays ever done and wanted to know if this was the place with German Shepherds, I replied yes, he said good I want to breed my female today" I said do I know you ?did you call?, he replied "no did I have to you do have a male dont you" I said yes, but we do not do stud service he looked at me as if I was nuts he had never heard of a stud fee number one or we would not breed a dog unless we approved of her and was highly insulted by my asking about his dogs hips and lineage after all she was purebred and he paid 70.00 dollars for her what was i thinking and who did I think I was... he left shaking his head in disbelief and he was mad....so nothing should surprise me but it still does!

I spoke with Mike Diehl the other day and he said about Eiche von Berger Hochburg Schh3 "He is the best producer I've ever owned. He is also the best biting dog I've ever owned or worked. He has the genetic grip that he produces along with extreme drives. He is also a very hard dog that dominates all situations." That is saying alot coming from Mike in my view. Eiche also has a littermate in the US named Eros who is very similar to what Mike says.
