Ozzy Barnero - Page 2

Vikram,

I have to agree with Gustay, it is simply a matter of opinion.

For me, the starting point is the bitch, and as with any breeding, the stud selection should be based on matching dogs with complemenary characteristics where strengths are enhanced and weaknesses are reduced.

As I said in a previous post, the bitch in question is beyond doubt, going to be the dam of my puppy.  She has what I want in my next dog.  I work with her as a Helper every weekend, and I simply love her....she is awesome in my view.  The co-owners of the bitch are making the stud selection, not I, as they are much more qualified than I in this regard and I am happy to defer to their expertise.

Having said that, their selection of Ozzy Barnero is pretty exciting to me, in that I have always admired Czech dogs, and I think pretty highly of Ozzy & Eurosport K-9.  I have personally seen Ozzy work at the WUSV and although he failed to out, I was very impressed with him.  I think the combination of these two dogs has the potential to make for a very exciting litter.

My reason for posting here, more than anything, was to simply gain more insight to Ozzy, his progeny, and what the Czech blood will brig to the equation.  I am aware of the slow maturing nature of the Czech dogs, but I am of the opinion that Ozzy will offer significant drive to the mix and again, I think this will be an exciting litter.

Thanks for the feedback....anyone else with specific experience/exposure to Ozzy, his progeny, or Czech dogs are welcome to share their thoughts.

I absolutely adore my girl. She is very smart and mature for her age. I have never owned a pup like her and I intend on sticking with Czech dogs. I have never seen so much balanced drive and I believe they made an amazing decision. Ozzys mom is pretty awesome too! She is a very hard core bitch. You'll be more than pleased.

I am in the US & own a 7 month old Ozzy daughter, feel free to contact me privately if you wish

I am a BIG fan of the Czech dogs.  I have 2 Czech females.... Xena  http://www.pedigreedatabase.com/gsd/pedigree/475396.html and the other one is Annie.... http://www.pedigreedatabase.com/gsd/pedigree/579687.html  I like the drives that my females have. I will be getting their BH later this year and hopefully their SchH1 next spring.  I really love my Erri daughter!!

I think you are going to be VERY happy with your Ozzy pup. Ozzy is a very nice dog. He has alot of power in his protection, nice flashy obedience, and is a good tracking dog. I talk to Taunya from Eurosport K9 alot. They have very nice dogs and the dogs are also doing very well in competition. I really like what Ozzy and Erri are producing.

Here is the mating check pedigree of Ozzy Barnero and Eris vom Wildhaus progeny.

Although I have lived with GSDs for 13 years, I would not consider myself an expert with pedigrees.  Having said that, I am very excited to see the puppies this combination produces....from my novice eye, this seems to (on paper) be a very stong combination.

Jyl, I agree with you and I have a great deal of respect for the folks behind both of these dogs.  November is when Eris heads to Texas to meet Ozzy, and I cannot wait!!

dAWgESOME, thanks for the invite, I would welcome an opportunity to hear of your firsthand experiences with one of Ozzy's pups.

look at the above mating I did for your female. This is a terrific West German Pure mating.

SHould produce awesome puppies

cheers

Vikram,

I respect your views, and I agree Eliot von Prevent seems to be a very impressive hund.  The thing you have to factor into the equation is the subjectivity of human nature....I am simply infatuated with Ozzy.

On a pragmatic point, Eliot von Prevent looks to be a dog in Germany....Eris vom Wildhaus is in Michigan USA, and in November, Ozzy Barnero will be in Texas.  The logistics between Michigan & Texas will be challenging and expensive enough...sending her to Europe is infinitely less practicle for us.

Having said that, I still see your point....there are excellent WG bloodlines, why go Czech?  Because we like Ozzy!

I assume you're in the UK.  I travel to Sutton in Ashfield, Nottingham for business.  Lets say you and I sat down for a pint together on my next trip.  What if I ordered a Manns brown ale, and you ordered Guinness porter....would you take exception to that?  Do we have to enjoy the same style of brew to share our passion for beer?  Can't we still knock back our respective pints and enjoy what we have in common?  Once we're a bit pissed (drunk if you're Americian), we won't care about brown ale, porter, West German, or Czech!!!

Cheers!  

Eliot does indeed look like a nice dog....as are many dogs in Europe. Unfortunately, being the owner of Eris, it is not possible to take her there for these dogs at this time. I'd like to know if you (Vikram) have something against Ozzy or just Czech dogs? ;-)

you can get WG blood for your bitch why bring in Czech lines? CZech dogs are not good.

cheers


CZech dogs are not good?????? Sombody better call Mike Diehl quick and tell him he better get rid of that ERRI dog. It's never going to amount to anything. He's a CZech dog after all.  LOL!

I will pass the word to Mike Diehl and also the Taunya and Josef that they are not going to get anywhere with Ozzy or Erri since Czech dogs are bad...hehe.  Mike is going to be PISSED since he has been working with Erri for about a year now. Sorry I couldnt resist!!
