My Working line Male "Atlas" - Page 3

All I saw that I could identify was German show lines. I saw no recognizable working lines in the pedigree, as it presently stands. I would guess that the "close up" dogs in the pedigree were pets from those showlines whose owners bred them. This is not a judgment on the dogs or the breeders. Have you taken him to a schutzhund club for evaluation? Have you found a club that you want to work with? God Luck and enjoy Atlas. THAT is what truly matters. :-)

Ok so what's the difference between working and show lines? His great grand parents have schH titles. Grand parents, and parents have nothing on them from what I have seen and heard about them.

Show lines also get Sch titles. You cannot tell which lines by whether or not they have titles. I do not want to get into a whole "working vs show" thread, and you would not want that, either. :-) Relax. In time, you will know the names of various working line kennels and the show line kennels. Go to the website of the most recent USA and/or WDA Championships. With only a couple of exceptions, the dogs in those events are generally working lines. Run those names through the "Search" function on this site and check out their pedigrees. Do the same with dogs from the USA Sieger Show, paricularly the ones rated VA. That is one way to begin to learn which is which from seeing names on the pedigree. :-) Good Luck and have fun.

What about this dog? SG Nick vom Debanttal ?

He has Sieger lines right?

Wouldn't that be working lines? I'm just really confused....
