Please, Take it easy on thechickengoesRAWR She's just a kid (my kid) Who has a love for her dogs and chickens, She's an A honor roll student, in advanced classes. Lets not be so quick to nail someone to a cross and set them on fire over a misspelled word...
BTW your dogs are beautiful! we had wanted East German Bloodlines to start, even found someone in Indiana that bred them, with several being used by state, and local government, with a reasonable price... then something happened to her female IDK.... I sure would have loved to have had one of her pups!
I agree. This thread has brought us all together because of a love of the breed. It's not necessary to know every nuance of the breed to know you love them and appreciate them.
I grew up around GSDs, but never really learned all that much about them except for their country of origin and what their original purpose was. Then we were given Jax as a gift and decided to add a second one, Kane. I knew I loved a certain coat color (bi-color) more than others, but when we went to pick out Kane I chose the pup that appealed to me most on all the levels that were important to me. It just so happened that the pup also happened to be a bi-color.
Now I'm learning as we go, but still don't feel it's necessary to know every single thing there is to know about the breed in order to raise my boys to be happy, healthy, sound in body and mind.
Kudos to your daughter (RAWR) Gonzo. I know she must make you proud.
By the way, although our boys could only be closer in bloodlines had they come from the same litter; they are as different in their strong points as night and day. Jax is my tracker and my assistant. Kane still has a long way to go before his personality fully develops but for now he's my thinker. Not interested in competing in any form, we're working with each one to help them let their natural born talents shine.
