BTW wildgunsr, have U ever oned a GSD b4 ? , could U tell us what attract U to workingline GSD in the 1st place ? maybe U can pose query like ur exoected puppy's pedigree, bloodlines, temperament etc on this board, I'm sure there will be a few member on board who can offer their valuable advice...! Cool

Yup I've owned (my dad actually) 3 GSDs, two fr working line and one show line. The showline was so dumb that it got stolen. Need i say more as to why I want working line? Now see, the expected pedigree is my biggest prob. I don't ask for much just one with sire and dam with a Koerklasse I, VA, IPO, FH, PSP II, SchH III, and ZPr. Yes I know, I'm dreaming... Blush

What's the diff. bet. bloodlines and pedigree? Wouldn't they be the same? As for temperament, dominant dogs are a big no no, a hard dog with sufficient drives. And the intelligence to know that not every running/moving object is a prey. Only strike on command. Basically I want a guard/protection dog. My parents are getting old, crime rates ain't going down. Thus, I'm leaving my options open. Either an adult bitch (potential breeding) or a puppy.

Getting adult dogs are a bit more tough, in my opinion, the pedigree/bloodline can be top notch, but if the dog was trained in a screwed up manner, God have mercy on the poor ppl that comes into it's path, you would end up with a screwed up dog, who's constantly confused/afraid. Crazy

This by no means that a puppy would be easier, the commitment to the well being, both mentally and physically is of paramount importance, as I do not want any pup that comes into my home to end up a vegetable because of my doing. The commitment for training and health would definitely be higher, as imprinting and basics are instilled then. Alot of work oooohhhhh Crazy

Therefore, I'm still keeping my option open. reading about pedigrees and trying to get in touch with as many working line trainers/breeders. The two foreign sites that i frequent are www.leerburg.com and www.k9kamp.com, these two knows what their doing. Ed Frawley is one tough no nonsense dude. Pirate

regards.
