Very true. If you don't like it don't buy it. :)

I like my working lines, and if any of you think they s**t, thats oki with me, I have to live with them and I have to like them, you don't :).

Same goes for show line. (I might think that some VA bite work is S**T) I will simply not buy dogs from them. And if you decide taht is something that you like god bless you :).

I wish that we all could trully enjoy all our dogs, no matter what you pick. As long you happy with it, I will be happy for you. :)

Well said Snajper, again, to each his own, now please, give it a rest everyone. liz

now everyone knows this board constantly picks on other peoples dogs .you all pull up other peoples adds and pic them apart.bash what everyone else is breeding so on and so on . i just wish some of the angulation they breed in could be bred out.if that's what you all like i could care less.I'm the first one to say to each his own.look to some of your own postings and see how harsh you have been on some dogs.then judge me.

Wuzzup :) I am known for offending only VA rated dogs lol :) But like I said many times before,  I expect VA dog to be the best dog out there not that day but the best They should represent something that every single breeder should look up to. That dog needs to be the best looking dog, and best working dog out there. I would go as far as making the VA do the whole SCH rutine not just bite work. Could be hearding don't really care what it is but not the version that I seen on show's. I know guys I ask too much lol :). Imagine shows going on for months lol :) Maybe that is why the breed is so divided. Maybe one day someone will stand up and start making tough decisions. :)

it 's not going to be me  the one to make the tough decisions . i don't know enough now nor will i ever know enough.i like and own bi colors, blacks, sables ,black and red black and tan ,black and cream,long coats,short coats , east ,west ,ddr ,.and yes some czech thrown in for good measure.and i still do not no as much as most people on here.heck i've known a few blues in my time.i also have some show-line.I'm here to learn.not to insult.please to forgive if i offended any one lately........    kindly to all wuzzup

Mirasmom, I like the look of Thor a lot.  He reminds me of many of the top GSD imports back in the 1950's.  Well proportioned, nice head, nice back, dry ligamentation, good pigment and looks very strong.   A GSD like this could compete in the showring back in the '50s and do well.  Not with the current zuchtschau style, but so what, he is still a very well built and attractive male. Very nice overall.  I can easily understand why the folks you sold him to like him so much.

here are a few of my favorites i picked from the historical va list http://www.pedigreedatabase.com/gsd/siegershow_winners.html

VA1 Herzog von Adeloga 01 Jan 1977, Mannheim

I'm probably way off the wall here, but I for one am glad that the GSD doesn't look much like it did in the early early years.

Just my humble opinion.

Herzog was one awesome GSD.
