This topic is intended for the "people in the know" to help the "beginners"....and everyone else...

If you know something about the dog listed, please share.......

working ability, temperament, breeding sucesses, lines that mixed well, what mark has been made on the breed, etc...

Lets start with dogs born pre 2000.....but not too far back.....

What else can you tell us about him?

 

The experienced breeders are keeping their secrets......too bad!

SitasMom, I would love to know more about these great German & European dogs BUT I really don't think that many people will post,

You know all about the code of silence, no matter what is said good or bad folk are sure to pick on the bad traits and turn the thread around.

Here we have Breed Survey books and that is just about as good as it gets.

All Breed Surveys conucted for the current year are published in one book, Fantasic !!

And this is why our breed constantly troubled with "issues".

We know the truth is that no one is willing to stand up and talk about the strengths or otherwise of these dogs, instead we stick our head in the sand and wonder why these problems keep occuring.

Even the fact that these dogs are breed surveyed, have excellent hips and elbows stiil does not mean that they can all be great dogs.

I am sure that everyone who has bred a litter has a tale to tell about one puppy that was a total disaster from birth but do we go and shout it for all to hear NO and why?? because who is willing to broadcast to all and sundry that X Y Z stud dog and of course YOUR BITCH produce this disaster.???

NOT MANY ARE THAT BRAVE.

I would be willing to bet that if you develop a relationship with experienced breeders, they will share their thoughts and experiences with certain dogs. Most will not volunteer such information on this type of open forum, and with very good reason. Theresa

Sheesh, I very much agree with what you said.

I have a mentor who has shared so much information with me, things that I would never have found researching on line because they are just not revealed.

I am blessed to have this person as a friend.

Invaluable. :-)

this is exactly why our breed is having so many "issues".... too bad for us, too bad for the dogs...

People not discussing issues on an open forum, is not the problem. This kind of knowledge comes from time and effort and experience. It is not something that one can get instant gratification answers from a DB. Theresa
