When I bought Pharaoh, he was in the first American born litter from both parents. Lots of steps from pink papers, besheinigen, to DNA etc. etc. etc.
There is a ton of paperwork and at any time the AKC can lose paperwork and DNA and then you have to do it over. Maybe breeder is also not the super star of paperwork. Especially when AKC loses things and it has to be done over. We were not all born to be bookkeepers and accountants.
It was just short of a year before I got Pharaoh's AKC registration. This was not a surprise as I was kept informed. I never complained (maybe a itty bit of whining) and I certainly did not bad mouth her. I did keep in touch and asked for updates by email.
Litters after that first one were easier as all the hard work had been done.
Also, how can you blame your breeder for the pup getting giardia. It is everywhere. It falls from the sky in bird droppings. It is no big deal, two courses of Panacur C and that's it.
She is either a whacko crybaby or a scammer. I think it is the latter.
my sympathies to you Hans,
Michele

I don't know Hans either, but from what I have read, he has always struck me as a wonderful person. I'm sure that there have been problems between him and the occasional customer; having dealt with customers in a retail setting, and in other facets of our service business, there are some people that you just can't please, no matter how perfect you are. To them, you are good for nothing, and they will put you down where and when they can, just to hurt you because they don't like you.
I have dealt with a few like this...I wouldn't take someone's word for their experience, as I have been on both sides of the transactions. Some of these people, I do believe, have a screw loose and find pleasure in trying to put others down, causing trouble for them. If that makes them happy, fine, but it's a shame to do what they do, to people who actually know their business, as Hans does.
Someday, I plan to go to Arizona, my home state, to take care of a minor personal legal issue in Phoenix, and while I'm there, I hope to be able to visit Alpine K9 and spend some time with Hans and his family and dogs. It would be a pleasure to do so, and I look forward to that visit.

I have never met Hans, but have always been impressed with his extensive knowledge of the breed. And I have heard others who have been to his facility praise him for his immaculate facility, & for his incredible dogs. I'd love to own a dog from Hans, or let him pick an import for me, should I be in the market in the future. He took the time to help me with a problem I was having, for free, without being solicited for help, but just because he was good of heart. As Sunsilver said, there are folks here that you trust after 'talking' with them for so many years. Hans is one of them. jackie harris

And I second what Crys said, too, some people just want to hurt those that try to help them. Been done that way myself, recently, on my job. What was it Jeff said...."Some people are just bat-shit crazy"? LOL, couldn't agree more! jackie harris

Hans,
You have beautiful dogs and I often read your opinions on these boards closely as you always have intelligent things to say.
If I may be allowed and question/curiosity?
You listed out the steps you are taking to register the female and the litter, all of which takes time but why are you already selling the female on? If you get an offer for her, before you have her registered in your name, won't that make things even more lengthy in terms of transfering her paperwork?
Also, why did she 'wash out' of your breeding program? She seems a nice female.

My male's sire was bred by Hans and I have spoken with him on a couple occasions, mostly by email, regarding his pedigree and history. Hans was very professional, curtious, and patient. I can verify the quality of dogs he produces and his level of committment to the breed and his breedings. Long after the dog leaves his care, he continues to support and advise the dogs new family. While many breeders claim to do the same, not all follow through. When the time comes for me to add a new dog to my K9 family, there is no doubt in my mind that Hans will be one of the breeders I will speak with. Keep up the good work Hans!

To answer your questions.
1. No it does not make it harder to register the pups. We had Bryta during the whelp and that is all AKC cares about.
2. No Bryta most definitely did not wash out. Let me explain.
There are 4 kinds of breeders by type: A) Back yard breeder Breeds anything to anything without any knowledge or consideration of bloodlines, types, problems, qualities,....and so on. Does it with love but does a lot of emage to the breed.
B) Puppy mill breeder. Breeds anything to anything without any knowledge or consideration of bloodlines, types, problems, qualities,....and so on. Does it without love of the dogs and does it JUST for the money.
C) Commercial breeder. Good commercial breeder will select or get someone to select for him quality breeding pair of strong genetics which matches properly in dove tail style. ( Compensates problems on Sire side with virtues on Dam side and vice versa.) He / She then breed these 2 dogs for profit and consequentially providing quality dogs to public and is spreading good genes into genetic pool. There is nothing wrong with this type of the breeder even so they often catch grief that they do it "just" for money. I'd say to that that we all need to make money and I do not think that there are breeders doing it "just" for money unless they are puppy mills. But here I am talking about GOOD breeders.
D) Blood line breeder. Blood line breeder is a breeder who is concerned with developing and advancing certain bloodline. Once I was asked which of our studs we would like to have in olden days as a top working dogs. I talked to Jiri about it and we agreed that all our studs would surpass the dogs in "old days". We are now preserving the traits of these olden days dogs, but we are also trying to make them more consistent, reliable, genetically stronger, sturdier and trying to eliminate genetic problems and so on while preserving the original qalities of the old dogs which we loved back then and stil love them now.
There are amateurs Bloodline breeders and there are commercial Blood line breeders. I am commercial bloodline breeder. What does it mean. I love what I do so much that I have turned my hobby into full time business. I am not getting rich on it (Believe me) but I need to make enough money to support my "bad habit" of breeding dogs. I am well educated in Engineering Geology and I could make good money

It is a shame Hans even had to come on here an defend himself. The poster should know this is a very small community, and there is no way they will allow a good breeder to be trashed on this board.
If that were my puppy I would pay for shipping also, just to get him outta there! Kudos to you, Hanns!!!!!!!!!

I guess I got cut off. Here is the conclusion to my last post.
Sometimes I think that I should go work in convenience store somewhere in Alaska. I would make more money and have more peace.
I have 3 types of dogs here. My personal dogs which will never go anywhere. Then I have breeding and genetically extremely valuable dogs which help me to develop my bloodline (and there is Bryta). And then there are to ones which I lovingly call "the old and ugly" . They also never go nowhere and stay with me for duration.
There is limit to the amount of the dogs I can care for and afford to keep. Thus when I get my genetics from the breeding dogs I sell them to good home or to another usually good commercial breeder.
Bryta most definitely did not "washed out" She provided me with supper female pup named " Fire ". Fire will carry Bryta's blood for me. Bryta will either be sold or if not then she will stay here and be part of my commercial breeding . She will live in my house and eventually will get the old and ugly club membership card.
I hope that this explains the misconception. :)))
Take care
