Czech Breeding...want opinions - Page 1

I am going to breed my czech female to Galant when she is SchH titled and OFA'd. I just want your opinions of what you think of this cross? http://www.pedigreedatabase.com/gsd/para.utkoma?fadir=437550&modir=475396

Jyl Usually the best way to see if a breeding is going to work, is to breed them. IMO I wouldn't go to Galant z P.S. Not because he is a bad dog, but because I don't like that much Grim in a breeding. We had this discussion earlier this year and yes, Grim has produced some bad hips. If you like the Pohranicni straze lines I would look to a few other dogs to even it out. Having a female that is linebred on Grim, I would look more to Titus z Pohranicni straze or Chuligan z Pohranicni straze. Dogs that back to these two or Kaso z P.S. The purpose of linebreeding is to bring out a trait. Now remember, you run the risk of bringing out as many bad traits as good. You should always look to compliment the two dogs being bred.

Jyl What part of the world do you call home? If you like those lines, I can recommend several good studs. I don't want you to think that I don't like Galant. I think Joseph has a he77 of a dog. Take notice that the Pohranicni straze itself, to my knowledge,never linebred Grim. Usually, kennels will keep or go back to "producers".

Thanks for you advise. I live in California.

I have a Galant daughter, certified Narcotics dog, preparing for SchH and tracking titles and absolutely love her drives. Super nice bitch with super hips. So I do like what Galant is producing. She is going to be bred to Cento z Pohranicni Straze, a Chuligan son out of a Titus granddaughter. Cento has been used to produce Police dogs in the northwest. http://www.pedigreedatabase.com/gsd/pedigree/426696.html

Altostland Like I said Galant is a great dog please don't defend him. You are exactly correct to go to suzanne for Cento as a stud. He has exactly what I recommend for Jyl and you, because it lines up beautifully. Jyl Cento is a solid son of Chuligan z P.S. Suzanne Eviston has him up in Wash. It would be worth the trek.

What is the contact information on the owner of Cent z PS? I want to research all this information now so that I have the time to make the correct match with my czech female, Xena,....I like that pedigree for Cento and I also like the fact that he is a solid black and has several solid blacks in his pedigree.

I wasn't "defending Galant", sorry if it appeared that way to you. In this particular case I'm in agreement with you about not lining up on Grim. I was pointing out that even though Galant produces well, there are other good studs out there such as Cento. It was more to reinforce the post that the Chuligan-Titus line was also a good choice to consider for her. My point in bragging on my Galant daughter was merely to let Jyl (and all other readers) know that I was not badmouthing Galant either. Good stud dog, depending on the bitch's pedigree. Long and short of it though, it would not be your concern or your place to dress me down for it even if I WAS defending the dog.

I looked at Cento's pedigree and I like that fact that there are several strong working dogs. My female, Xena, is a strong working female. She is only 11 months old now and is more mature and focused than my 3.5 year old showline male. I will contact the owner of Cento as the time gets closer to when I want to breed Xena(as she is still a pup). Xena is out of a female that was imported from Eurosport kennels in Slovavkia. The same kennel that Galant is at.

Altostland I like you. I'd let your dog have his way with my Chuligan granddaughter any day.
