Frankly, I'm a little bummed I'm not in the puppy market.

You think you could hold off for oh... another three years?

     Bob,
  You mention that if need be,you would keep this Litter.I tried that once long ago,and it became a real handful.
I have two working line companion dogs,and they top my day off.
    However,I am NOT a fan of such tight numbers such as 2/3,or even 3/4.
   Too many untangibles there for me.

I,m just saying I,m not looking to create this litter for profit, So what can,t be placed will have a good home with me. I understand that when doing a breeding like this you are pooling genetics good and bad depending on the dominant. It,s interesting the contacts that I,ve gotten from people who like the breeding... it,s still a hypothetical.

Bob,
Troll vom Haus Melinda, ..is a major tangible, but do some research, and see
if anyone else has a double Troll. I remember a double Task, troll's brother. I would still
do the breeding if the dogs have less than 200 ZW combined.

Bobby you know,.. you won't have a problem selling those pups!!

I would worry about linebreeding 1-2 on a litter that is already linebred 4-3 on Verwin Blitsaerd (and 5-4 on Robby Glockeneck). Seems an awful tight concentration of the genetics. Things I'd not be surprised to see show up in the puppies would be missing teeth, missing testicles, and bad hips.

All the same, an awful lot of breeders in other breeds do this sort of breeding to fix physical traits and any dogs that are good oughta be REALLY good. :)

I'd just make sure that both parents carry the traits you want to see concentrated.

What's Axel's hip rating? He's awful handsome--any other pics of him?

Mainlymax,

Why does this breeding remind you of Sam Beit Haboxer Mehagiva? (www.pedigreedatabase.com/gsd/pedigree/618500.html)?

Uh-oh, now your getting called out on your paper chasing ability.
