The difference with Czech lines is that they didn't have sport and show influence their breeding decisions. Because of this, it makes them commonly display more defense and fight drive.
I don't think there too hard, I wouldn't know but I couldn't see them being any harder to train than the Malinois. In my opinion anyway.
The down side that I don't hear often, but I think it's out there is corruption. I think there's alot of corruption is eastern Europe, scams, quick bucks, etc. Financially some people don't have the proper resources to breed top dogs.
As long as you know who you're dealing with it's fine, there's corruption everywhere but in the eastern European region I think scams run high.
so it sounds like there would not be a situation where the Czech is not the better choice... more defense/aggression and same or more prey and workability, better structure since no show influence.
Is there truly no down side other than chance of being rooked?
I just had to answer this post from dj. so it sounds like there would not be a situation where the Czech is not the better choice... more defense/aggression and same or more prey and workability, better structure since no show influence.
Well dj, here's my opinion, you are close to your understanding but far from being accurate.
At present the czech dogs are the hot topic, yes they are fantastic K-9's. When you look into the pedigree's some have DDR lines that can be traced.
The comment about better structure since no show influence. Again there are working lines that have no or little show tittled dogs in the pedigree. My friend was telling me this weekend that prior to the 70's the tittles were not the same and the dogs were strong woking K-9's. Today the same applies, some czech dogs also have show titles but the judging is diffeerentm then non working shows.
Don't think that you have to get a czech dog to get a quality working dog. look into some of the breeders that are presently bringing in the old DDR lines to enhance their own czech lines.
Well I am not sold on Czech dogs , not yet anyway, I was more curious because the board seems to always have a thread or three concerning czech dogs.
My ideal puppy would have great nerves, high prey, high aggression, high defense, and hard, but not a dog that would constantly be testing for dominance with me, The "work" for the dog would be strictly family companion/protector so I also want the dog to be HIGHLY skeptical of all strangers.
Does my description of the dog lend itself to the Czech lines more than other working lines?
Originally posted by dj: Does my description of the dog lend itself to the Czech lines more than other working lines? Dunno, but maybe Butch can tell you what he met with when he should up at my house for our road trip to get his pup. My male is mostly Czech and some DDR.
dj, I didn't have to knock on the door that was for sure. I stayed about 3 feet away from the door, to many glass window panes for me.
All three of Mike's k-9 family greeted in their native tounge. (dog bite international)I think having three GSD's in a house is better then what I have 1 GSD and 1 Akita.
dj, just a suggestion, I wouldn't visit either of our home's without letting someone know.
My goal is to take a czech stud and breed to my DDR female, as Todd Gastner said; Czech attitude and DDR structure. I believe Todd know's what he's talking about.
