How do you price you working line puppies? - Page 6

Don't you just love this website? Nobody gets anybody.

LMH.If nothing else we get stimulated hahaha.

You're OK, Babe. Saw that in the *notorious* deleted thread about Tas's condition. I enjoyed your openminded attitude and ability to question ourselves.

Walter, Your invited to come meet my dogs Anytime!! Spook, You certainly are not !! You continue to judge by photo's which I don't get it honestly I did not think our dogs were so hideous. But you can't judge anything from photos, other than weather or not they "Might" be "your" style of dog, color, pattern, head style, body style, general things like that. I'm not gonna run out and buy a dog if I see his picture and find him/her to be unattracktive to me. But the attrackniveness of a dog is not the end eighther, I have to meet the dog, meet his/her parents, meet other progeny, see these do some work, see them socializing, and get a super idea of they're temperament, first and foremost and I have always said ... is Temperament. Spook, Your allowed to find my dogs ugly, But your continueing to call me a puppy mill is getting really old !! No One could be farther from a puppy mill !! So once again you continue to SPOUT off like the 2nd grader who's thumbing they're nose. Whatever your weird I don't care to have your opinion about me or my dogs.

Just for the record, My dogs do have titled parents, grandparents, on and on, My younger progeny do not, My females were not Titled only because the lady I purchased them from was not interested in SchH, Not they're faults in my OP. We train sch. and plan to continue to do so and Title dogs throuout the coming years. I enjoy my dogs, My entire family enjoys our dogs, Everything else could be irrelevent and quite frankly Spook101 is about to turn me the other way and say screw the titles if it's gonna be this much of an issue, If titles is all you want to look at then I personally think your out of your mind, There is so much more to a dog than a piece of paper with numbers on it, That is my feeling on it. Titles are good things, KKL is a good thing, BUT neighther is THE END ALL.

Echo you are shouting in to the woods and there is an old saying "The way you shout in to the woods that is the way it Echos back"Why are you searching for more input??? I hope you get the maening..... Charlotte

babe, you mentioned that you will fly to germany to personally see a male you are interested in. basically that's my piont. in an age where titles are easier and easier to get,dogs come over from europe w. titles on paper but can not work. your only hope is to either see the dog yourself or take the word of someone you trust. but for me I can't really put my trust in a simple title. you go to actually see the dog while others may need to take the word of someone they trust. if someone simply finds a website featuring titled dogs.

charolette, :-) Yes.

Hi wscott,yes I am flying to Germany my father is in Germany and was a very well known Kennel owner there, he retired 5-years ago.So all the know how I got from him. I have two beautiful females,and it is because I am going to see for myself when I want to breed either one of them.Yes I do not trust any of them for the reason they will tell you over the phone or e-mail how great there GSD's are,so I fly to the owners or have my father look them up.It is an adventage because they will not disappoint me(or my father)I can damage there reputation. And the other reason is it is so much cheaper to get my femals breed it only cost me $500.00 for breeding and I take a cheap flight. It is harder here in the States I know many breeders who charge $1000.00 and who think and still do they are the best in the US, but some are what I will call money-hungry and the qualities of there GSD's are very questionable,they are all titled but kept in the kennel all day and only shown when people come to see the puppies no work or training done, they are just there.So there is a big question how are they going to turn out.Well a friend of mine got one of there pups and it failed most of the requirements she had big expectations and the breeder told her well there is no guarantee I say do not advertise your GSD's as the best if they can not live up to the challenge. I am a breeder and I have never had any offspring there could not perform in what I proclaimed they would be capable of doing most of them are on the top level and others are because the new owner did not want to go further they where content to have him/her as a pet and that is so Ok with me as long as they went through the early foundation training that is the key to success in the puppy's life and the optimal time is between 4-6 months of age a six weeks puppy training designed to lay the basics.(I am sure you know all that) So, Title or not the point is and will be in my mind as long there is no reason for concern of inherited foults to be passed on in case of breeding then there is nothing to be concernt about.Respect for each individuals and there belief is also Ok with me but do not loose the direction in what this is called for. Greetings to you Charlotte

Echo, I don't want to come to your kennel. I've seen coyotes before. How long have you been working on a sch1 title? Well at least when you can't title one of your coyotes you can say it's my fault.
