Pedigree opinion request - Page 1

 Have been considering a dog that's currently for sale.  Like the dog, but was wondering if someone could offer an opinion (or two) on his pedigree as I really don't know what I'm looking at.  Dog's name is Champ von Di Caprio and he's on the database.  Thanks to any and all....

 Falcon,

What I would be asking you first of all is what you want in a dog? Why are you considering this dog? And if you know nothing about the bloodlines, that suggests to me that you know little about the working abilities of such dogs. This dog comes from some fine working bloodlines. However, it may or may not possess those same working abilities and willingness to work. Is it healthy? Are the hips and elbows x-rayed and certified? Why is the dog being sold? What will you do with the dog? Have you experience with working dogs? If so, what? What kind of temperament does the dog have? 

In other words, who cares about the bloodlines if some of these and other questions have not been answered and/or understood......

 Admittedly, although not new to GSD's, I am new to Sch world.  This dog is supposed to be a top Sch prospect and that is what I am looking for.  And although I don't know anything about the bloodlines, I am aware of the working abilities that dogs from these lines possess.  Thanks for your input as it is exactly what I was looking for.  Namely, confirmation that the dog does come from well known working lines.  Thanks again...
