hi LCK,



Do u mind eleborate more........this is interesting.......how would this apply to a working GSD ? like may be a nerve of steel, driveys male but a bit aggressive (civil edge) mated to the average/moderate working female with calm temperement or a show bitch (hope not yucks) ............will actually

  1. dilute the nerve ? drives ? of the male ?
  2. produce an animals with moderate nerve/drives with calm temperement
  3. or best of both world with the high drivey and nerve of steel dog with super calm temperement....




Boon not sure what you mean by "driveys male", "civil edge". Maybe these are working GSD terms? So perhaps you could elaborate?

But to me if you're breeding working line GSD's why not stick to working line GSD's whose natural instincts have been honed and heightened over several generations to work. As i mentioned before any dog can be trained to do work, but i guess it may be a bit easier if the working instinct has been there are cultivated in the ancestors for a few generations already. JMHO. Surch what are your thoughts?

Hi LCK,

OK drivey i'm referring to the said dog has a lot of drives, like over prey or over defence, overly aggressive towards animal or human or those pack and ranking issues like always like to challenge the handler. Under certain situation like the dog has been corrected in an unfair situation, he/she will fight back like bite and etc.....

Civil edge == civil aggression, willingness to take the fight and challenge.........most of the drivey does does have certain level of civil aggression.

What i mean for putting a working and a show is just an example...i'm never into show gsd and will not plan to in the foreseeable future....i just wanted your view on if the drivey male put to the calm and moderate female (could be a show or working line female) what will the pups turn out to be. Lets assume that the said dog/bitch has certain dogs in common in their pedigrees.

May be a 3,3, 3,4, 4-4 on some dogs/bitches.

Under certain situation like the dog has been corrected in an unfair situation, he/she will fight back like bite and etc.....

Bro, it sounds to me this dog is way too aggressive for my comfort, if this dog is put to work at a new environment and still possess such dominance and aggresive nature, I think he will fail all the test! Imagine if the handler is attack by his own dog or working with a group of other handlers and dogs!?! I think drive is an understatement, it sounds like this type of dogs need to be given Pro-zac!!

What i mean for putting a working and a show is just an example...i'm never into show gsd and will not plan to in the forseable future....i just wanted your view on if the drivey male put to the calm and moderate female (could be a show or working line female) what will the pups turn out to be. Lets assume than they said dog/bitch has certain dogs in common in their level 3 in pedigree.

My understanding is that aggressive nature will not equal out if you use an aggressive male mated to a mild mannered bitch, I think the end results will be some pups turning out like its sire and some like its dam, never in between! Temperament is a trait that cannot be altered but good character can be fortified...look what theguys here have done to me!?!Laugh

LCK posted ... " ... This is a question i ask myself when assessing pups. I know the father had a good front, nice defined prosternum, good hindquarters.

LCK posted ... " ... Surch what are your thoughts? ..."

As I understand it ... Boon's query is based on LCK's example of matching strength & weakness when breeding for conformation ... and Boon is wondering what will happen when working dogs of contrasting temperaments are matched ...?

I think we can safely say that genetics certainly plays a part in a dog's temperament ...

Now ... and having gone through all of the above --- MY ANSWER IS ... I have no blo*dy idea ... TongueCoolLaugh

My guess is that when you match dogs with similar temperaments, your chances of getting similar temperament are higher ... but when you match dogs with contrasting temperaments - the progeny may exhibit the whole range of possible temperaments ...


I am not so sure you can equate breeding for temperament along the same lines as breeding for conformation ... So much of conformation is physical & almost all genetically driven ... With temperament however so much depends on how a pup is brought up, the environment, the owner ... the training methods ... etc ... all of which goes into making the personality of the adult dog, and complicates any assessment or comparison of temperament at birth, and the eventual temperament we see in the adult.

Boon, if you are really interested ... I can check with some working dog breeders and let you know what they say.

Cheers

Somehow training and the early imprinting and socialization will definately affects the pup and how he/she will turn out to be.........but my understanding is that the NERVE can't be train....if it is there its there or if not there no matter what u do, how u train......the said dog will not make it to the above average.

Re: [boon] Breeding "Show or Work?" [In reply to] Can't Post

Hi Boon

I tend to agree with Surch here. I guess as i'm breeding show dogs, i'm putting structure and conformation as my priority. Similarly a person working his dog will be interested in the working ability of the sire & dam. For example a good tracking dog will obviously produce progeny that will have a better tracking ability. Obviously not ALL will carry his traits but surely one or two will take after dad and generally most will have a higher propensity to track.

For example i have a litter of 6 month old pups now. Their mum is a number 1 escape artist and can get out of anywhere. All these pups when put in a puppy pen aged 3 months old, learnt how to use thier muzzle to lift up the pen and slide out. Mad Now, this same puppy pen has been used to contain pups aged even 5 months previously and they never learned to do this. Wink So i guess certain behavioural traits have been passed down to these pups from their dam. So if a dachie is a good earth dog with higher prey drive than the average dachie then there is a higher chance that his progeny will carry those traits.

Boon, from experience you will get a mixture. Some will have the character traits of their sire, some of their dam and some will be like neither!! One hopes that those falling into the neither category will carry the best of both traits....well if you're lucky you can get that, but you may just get something unlike both. You may also get a throw back to a grandparent or similar! But as i mentioned earlier, putting an animal which excels in one particular area (be it structural or behavioural) will to a certain degree positively amplify that particular trait in their progeny. By and large this stands true, but its not a hard and fast rule. What if all get throw backs to their grandparents or greatgrandparents? Then what? But you merely increase the likelihood of getting it.

From my limited knowledge seldom do people cross working dogs and show dogs as working people tend to think that most show dogs have too many structural exagerations which will impede their ability to work!! Over angulated hind and such will mean a dog will have to expend so much more energy than one with a straighter hind angulation. Show dogs have been moulded and exagerated for 'beauty' whilst working dogs are bred for 'function'.

Two geniuses don't make an Einstein! Tongue

But it can be a little different with working dogs originating from Europe where many who are accomplished show dogs, also have to excel at working ability and show that they are truly all round dogs capable of doing what they were bred for. So i guess if your show dogs orginate from Europe they do carry that propensity to work too as it has been maintained throughout time. My dachs ancestors on the otherhand have never been required to go badger hunting for quite sometime so that is why some will be naturally good earth dogs and others will stand at the burrow entrance and look at their owners with a face like "you go first lah" Tongue I do know that even with the requirement for European show dogs to carry working titles, there exists many purists who breed only pure working line dogs.

So the final question back to you wouuld be - WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO ACHIEVE BY DOING THIS MATING???? Dogs who excel in working ability or show dogs??Sly

Yes i agree with u, the dam playing the most crucial and important roles of being raising up the pup since born, how the dam react to certain things will surely affects the pup's behaviour. from 6 to 8 weeks of age, pups learn how to be a dog and socialization takes place, the seperation of each individual must be taken place to prevent the pups from being to 'doggy' or too 'human' if the timing of separating them is not taken with care.

Hello sifu's Smile

Thanks very very very much for taking the time to answer my questions. Greatly appreciate it.

LCK,abt the list..what exactly are the PETA and animal libbers plan on doing that is so extreme till the breeds get extinct/in trouble? think i'll do more research on this tonight.

"This is evident even today ... we will select pups (bred from guard/protection breeds) with most heightened or sharp personalities & instincts (we call them drives) and put such selected dogs through concentrated & intensive training to develop, modify & redirect those instincts - but this time for the purpose of guarding/protecting us and to do so at our command."

That's why I LOVE training.Cool

aiyah as i said earlier....this is just an example i don't plan and do not intend to cross a show and a working animal. It just an example. I have to agree with u, how on earth the banana croup dog can run 20 km for the korung test....may be will ended up with the broken legs and elbows and the only cure for this is to put additional 2 wheels at the back like a 'trishaw'. ShockedCool


In Reply To


So the final question back to you wouuld be - WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO ACHIEVE BY DOING THIS MATING???? Dogs who excel in working ability or show dogs??Sly



Oh ini kah.... i just being curious (serious, no joke here) what will happen if the 2 said dogs mated.....wanted u and other sifus to shade some light for the newbie like me. As of now, i'm definately do not have enough knowledge for breeding the working dogs, further more, time, space and commitments.....

if breed for the shake of learning and get my hands dirty to learn more, most probably will ended up with a buch of some how 'agresive' pups for an averege pet owners.....

IF I EVER BREED (see some contradicting view here Pirate may be few more years down the road lah) I will try to have the dogs that line breed on some legend of GSDs that works/functions mostly in defend instead of prey....so hopefully this virtual breeding will give me 1 or 2 drivey of dog(s) and will then breed out with the DDR to get an average of everything in a dog and with the 'massive' head and bones that a typical DDR carry. (don get me wrong here, not those type of massive head in lab that looks like a rott)

Overly aggressive or drivey dogs is surely a REAL challenge for the handler and is generally not a beginner dog. For sport (even some sifus had hardtime controlling them for precise OB test under Schh and the out after the attack). So an average dog with moderate defence and little bit above average of prey will just 'click' for the sport.

Too much prey or 100% on prey will not bring u up to national level.....a typical (may be most of it) german type of sport dogs (prey monster or locked in prey).

So again, moderate in everything (my taste for the sport dog not PP) will be just good, train and work in prey and if the helper push further, with some civil edge that willing take the fight in defence mode..........

But nothing worth mentioning and quoting here (just my thought).....until i title my dog and hopefully few years down the road with the knowledge i gained throughtout the years of getting my arm sore/sweat/dirty...with a little bit of luck i can have 1 dog that breed my be and title my be.

Hope this answer ur question for my ultimate goal.
