Working Line Colors - Page 3

We did not intend to spay her, but can you explain the relationship of uncas and bloat;I have heard before , but did not quite understand.

From just my own personal experience, I have had 2 people call me over the past year looking for a dog to replace their dog who was linebred on Uncas and who died from bloat VERY young...like 18mos old. There seems to be a corellation beween Uncas and serious bloat problems, ie, bloat occurring way before the typical danger zone of about 5+. There are other dogs who bloat was an issue with, and these dogs have had pups several generations away die from bloat/torsion too, though they are not even linebred. To see a 2-3 on a dog who died from bloat and who produced at least several others who died from it so young is scary. I think the 18 month old was 3-3 or 2-3. 

Asko is a classic saddleback and is working lines all the way.     http://www.pedigreedatabase.com/german_shepherd_dog/dog.html?id=591778-asko-von-der-thomas

the most black and tan working dogs I found in the linage of Quanto Jipo Me and Balli Panta Rei, very good though working dogs.

like this female  Sedry od Roubenky (one of my retiered females) http://www.pedigreedatabase.com/german_shepherd_dog/dog.html?id=670321-sedry-od-roubenky-litter

True Haus in Oroville CA has a black/tan working female named Remmie.

But both Falko vom Wolfsblick and Falk von den Wolfen are black/tan working lines that are popular males. I would look into dogs from their lines.
