Hi All

I would just like your opinions on my bitches Blood lines, all comments welcome :)

http://www.pedigreedatabase.com/german_shepherd_dog/dog.html?id=708231

I expected at least a few comments judging by other threads, So no one has an opinion on these lines, positive or negative??? mmmmm

For what its worth she is beautiful....this site is a strange place to be.You can get good advice, bad advice and no feckin advice at all sometimes!!. Dont tell them your new either because although some people on here are very helpful  others will use your newness to assume you know nothing and tell you how you are doing everything wrong and they are the only people who know anything about anything. Some genuine enquiries and requests for advice are treated with contempt and suspicion .I hope someone on here can comment on this thread for you and at least pass an opinion, good or bad,after all, that is what this forum is all about!!!

Hi, from what is posted, you pretty much have your answer: Showlines. The silence you have is probably due to the fact there are holes in the pedigree and are no titles or health tests, for the sire and dam, and that can suggest a not so thorough breeding. If you want a critique on your pup, you will need to provide better photos, full body, stacked would be nice. Can't help anymore than that because I'm just learning new stuff everyday, myself.

Enjoy your girl, she looks to be full of character.

Hiya to the OP.As other posters have commented,your bitches pedigree is german showlines.I know the UK affixes which appear on the pedigree and can confirm that these breeders DO DO ALL THE NECESSARY HEALTH CHECKS.Just because they dont appear on the pedigree listed here on the data base,dont mean they have not been hip/elbowed scored.To the owner go onto the KC website ,click on health checks,then type in dogs KC registered name and the scores should come up.The Colthurst affix has been in existance for donkeys years and this kennel has produced UK champions and champ.show winning animals.The Willowdale affix is one from southern ireland and has also produced many champ.show winners.I know for certain that Willowdale O,Shey has been hip scored.I also know the owners of the Graybeck affix and have myself admired some of the animals they have produced in the past.Your girl has a very pretty face (in show terms i would say,she has a very feminine head with a very good expression),from the photo her ears look to be very close together but i suspect its because she has tilted her head back to look at you.her colour looks to be rich black gold.No one can express an opinion of your girl just from a head study.I seem to remember that yu posted a thread earlier on this board.I take it that yu are located in the uk.Maybe yu could attend either a breed open/champ.show and ask around,not everyone in the sChow scene is unapproachable and nasty .Iwill be attending some general champ.shows in May.

Very pretty pup.  Saber was a great dog.  Lots of holes in the pedigree, especially the most recent ancestors so that's why you won't have much of a response.  "Holes" means that the dogs don't have show ratings, training titles or a breed survey.  In order to be bred to the German standard dogs must have a temperament test, endurance test, conformation exam, working ability exam, hips and elbows certified and a breeding survey. 

I think no one has answered because they are not well known lines, with the exceptioni of Saber and Romeo. No other information is given on them as brought up previously. So it's hard to make any comment, except that she's beautiful and has lots of bone and nice small ears! Enjoy her!
