Can anyone explain this? - Page 1

I call BS on this. I guess someone in a Czech kennel has some black GSDs
they are paving the way for selling as a 'rare' (therefore 'better' !) dog.

Probably got pedigrees riddled with 'pure' black and white lines
developed in the UK, for money, regardless of epilepsy & HD risks,
imported by cheapskates in Czech and Slovakia area 'cos they
didn't want to buy SV dogs from Germany, or proven working DDR
lines.

Huge gaping holes in descriptions and logic,  language difficulties
aside.

This is the message they sent me.

If I understood the website correct, they are talking about the "Altdeutscher Huetehund" which is a not FCI recognized breed. They emerged more as a "mix" of breeds, specific characteristics are more bound to a geological region then to a "breed standard". So they come in different looks and different colors. Some of them look like long stockhaar german shepherds, some look more like Aussies etc. They were only bred by the true to occupation Shepherds for their use as working sheep dog.

We had one at home; he was extremely smart and protective, but also a fitter. He was all black, smaller and fuzzier than a GSD. I will see if I find an old photograph.

Edit to insert. Extreme bad quality, it was around 1989 or so. My little sister with Rex. Maybe one can make out the much bushier tail.

Rex looks like a good old Heinz 57 to me, [sorry !] -
but its not a very clear photo.
I don't think they meant anything so specific as an
Altdeutsher Huetehund, because supporters of
that range of herding types (likely at the base of early
GSD developments) might object also !  LOL

Don't forget that the site says *their* dogs ARE
recognised.  [ By the "UCI" !]
Its a scam.


Beautiful pic of the Moon, Denwolf.

Well, Hundmutter.....since it is a mixed breed, one can sure call it Heinz57....LOL And thats exactly why they are not recognized by FCI.

I agree that the website trys to make you believe that its an actual breed. But their english is so broken that its difficult to tell if they are liberally wanting to scam people or if they really belief that their "black cherry" dogs are true in standard to their geographical region.

I know that there were efforts in Germany to have the Altdeutscher Huetehund recognized as well as having their own registry with papers etc. You know, its funny, I dont remember having seen that many mutts back then in Germany than I see here. Same for the animal shelters. Guess there was a certain pride in owning a full blooded papered dog, or horse, and so on.

The standards for all the breeds accepted to the AKC are used here for breed information, and those not part of the AKC are resourced from FCI standard information, where it is written and coded into the club rules for those breeds.

 

I wonder where they got the genes from those "Old German Shepherd Dogs"?
