tracking the pedigree of our gsd - Page 1

Hi everyone, I'm new to this forum! I will try to make this short and informative, and hopefully someone will know the answers.
Either way, we've got the pedigree somewhere, I know I've seen it and read it, but that was like ten years ago. Could be interesting to see if I can find it online somehow.

We had a GSD, a female, from around 1992 I believe, (we adopted her when she was around one, or two years old.) I'm born in '88, and I was always a year and a half older.

Anyway. The former owners got her from the Olebos Kennel in Norway, but I only got this site when googling that kennel, so either it doesn't exist anymore, or they've changed their names. (they're locals I belive, as I live in norway too, but, you know...)

I'm pretty sure there was a "Polarulven"-dog somewhere in the pedigree, and I saw there was a Polarulven's Brico here, which kinda rang a bell, but i'm only guessing.

I dunno if the breeders actually called her Ginnie, but that was her name as far as we knew. I think her mother, or maybe her grandmother had a very long name.

So as far as I know, she was born in 1990, she was a female GSD from Olebos, her name was Ginnie, her father might have been a dog from Polarulven.

Either her grandmother or mother also had  a very german name I believe.

I checked to see if I could see her on the list of any offsprings of Brico, but I found nothing.

Closing this, I just want to say that this is a great page. It was really interesting looking around. Maybe someone here knows something! If it helps, I, as mentioned, live in Norway, a town called Mo i Rana.

I searched Polarulven on the pedigree Search, you can check from there, siblings, progeny etc.

Hiya, wow, thanks for the reply people!

After a bit of searching, i ended up at www.pedigreedatabase.com/gsd/pedigree/425748.html

I have a feeling her pedigreename was actually Qwinnie, but that her daily name was eventually Ginnie, it being easier to pronounce. (something struck me when reading it!) 

Though the year of birth is wrong, i'm almost 100 per cent sure. The date however seems to match. Could these pedigrees be wrong sometimes? I dunno why it says Anjin's, as I'm sure she was from Olebos. From what I've heard though, Olebos had only used dogs that he owned himself, so I dunno why I felt I had heard of "Polarulven's" hmmm. odd.

It could be her listed though. She has a half-sibling from Olebos, named Fanny (same father, dif mother)

just really interesting. My mother knew where teh pedigree was apparently, so I will try to look it up this week and then cross-check.

btw, can anyone tell me what "linebreeding" means? :) thanks for your help btw, so fascinating. Loving this database.  


here's an old picture btw. oh i miss her <3

Welcome to the forum :-) Your girl was very pretty and I'm sorry she passed on.

I am not the best at explaining linebreeding but will give it a go anyway...
Linebreeding is similar to inbreeding (father/daughter, mother/son) but not as close, so maybe you will see the same dog a few times in a, for example four generation pedigree.  Here is an an example of a linebred dog. This is a litter I will be getting a puppy or two out of. And because of all the linebreeding I thought it would be a good example to use.

If you look under where it says Linebreeding you will see:
•5 - 5............................................. in 1989 WUSV SIEGER Fado von Karthago
That means in the 5th generation, Fado v Karthago is in both the sire's and dam's pedigree.

And the same for the rest of the dogs on the list.

I apologize if this is more confusing than helpful. I understand it quite well but as I said, I am not very good at explaining.
Anyway welcome to the forum and I hope you enjoy it here.

hmmm, not sure i understand, but then again, i'm very green on this whole thing, hehehe. but basically, it would just mean that whichever dog is mentioned, would be in both the female/male pedigree?

so if it said 4-5 that would mean the same dog would appear in either the father's 4th generation, and in the mother's fifth generation, (just an example) ?  

Yes, I think you have the gist of it, despite my poor example :-)
Here is an article I found that may be a lot more useful and descriptive. I hope it helps

ahh okay thanks for that link. it was helpful! :'D I think I understood you then, hehe. and you're right then, I figure. It would be almost like inbreeding, though not as "close", but just enough to try and make sure you keep the qualities you want, right? XD
