How do you know? - Page 1

My gsd is going to have a some pups and I was wondering how you pros on here determine which pups have the working drives and which pups are more for family homes. I am  curious because I am looking to keep one pup with working drives and possibly obtain some titles on him/her.

this is one of the tests we use and i have found it to be quite accurate, there are others but i like this one

Wow, not to be too much of an ass, but if you can't evaluate a pup and determine which have drive, etc., what are you doing breeding?  How did you evaluate the pair that was bred?    Hey, I understand that your dogs are probably the best dogs in the world, everybody's dogs are.  That is why it is mind-boggling why we have so many crap puppies.

LoL Don go easy start with a foreplay than the f**k lol

 Is this an upssss litter? Breeding should not be take lightly.

Tigermaus gave you good test it been used by many experience breeders.

And we wonder what is wrong with  germanshepherd breed.

I have my own way's of selecting a keeper.   Before any testing.

It involve's time and study... watch your pup's and see what trait's they display as they grow.

Know what your looking for.

Test's as such are limited in my opinion and useful only to a point.  Careful observation over time cover's a lot more ground.

I know I have a number one criterium: getting along with her mom. My girl is tame with other dogs and if the pup is as well two females would get along.

I can have this criteria for an American showline GSD. Harder to do with a german working line, I tend to think.

Thanks SchHbabe, Tigermouse and Snajper. As for Don Macaroni and want to be Held,  you guys dont have to be so negative. You two dimwits couldnt even answer the question. My dogs are german imports and I do know how to evaluate pups, but I am trying to find other ways and means from different minds.
