Hi wildgunsr, Quote: "Yup I've owned (my dad actually) 3 GSDs, two fr working line and one show line." =================================== So U currently owned 2 workingline GSD ? so where did U get ur workingline GSD . .? ? Quote: "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. " ===================================== Wht I look for in GSD is KKL1 for temperament & working drv ! Quote: "What's the diff. bet. bloodlines and pedigree? Wouldn't they be the same? ===================================== Of course there r difference ! ! , every individual dog temperament is difference, take for example if we were to compare the working GSD from DDR wt Czech, well generally speaking the Czech line should be harder & have more rank issue but of course they r exception to the rule . . . that is why serious breeders study bloodline.....so when they want a certain trait to bring in to their breeding program, they will know which dog bloodline to look for....! Quote: "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." ===================================== Well when U go to pick up ur pup just remember not to choose the alpha pup , ok ! and as for intelligence to choose its prey . . . .well the key to this is socialisation & training ...! Basically workingline GSD is a natural good guard dog with or w/o Protection training . . . so as long we dun screw up its training , they should do just fine ! Quote : "Thus, I'm leaving my options open. Either an adult bitch (potential breeding) or a puppy. " ===================================== Sorry to ask this but r U planning to start a small kennel or breeding program....? ... Well first of all do u know serious workingline breeder normally will look for the most dominant dog/bitch with serious working drv for their breeding program...but U did not, ...& secondly will U be thinking of training the dog up to at least ScH 1 or even just BH level so that U will be able to evaluate his working & breeding potential ...? ...I'm not discorouging U here, but just so U know being a breeder require a life long of dedication & effort and this is especially true if U wanna be a workingline GSD breeder ...! Quote: "Therefore, I'm still keeping my option open. reading about pedigrees and trying to get in touch with as many working line trainers/breeders. " ===================================== Well that's the spirit ! . . . research & read as much as possible , & if there is anything u wanna ask maybe u can pose ur query in this board so that other members who know may be able to help U , this way everybody will be able to share & learn at the same time...! Quote: "Ed Frawley is one tough no nonsense dude." YES..! but he is also a "Business Man"...! BTW U can e-mail at : Polluxx "Show me your dog and I'll tell you what manner of man you are."
