They are now making it illegal in Germany to work a dog on a bitesuit.

Is this true?

Enrique, thanks for the compliment

Looks like a nice Kennel, i like the male out of your pup to be.
When are you getting your pup?

I'll be getting the pup by July, and I'm also thinking about another little female from Jinopo. Any thoughts on that? By the way, I think somebody else complimented your dogs but I think too they're just awesome!!!
Please if anybody has seen Chasinta's page let me know what you think.
Thx.

Enrique, she is very nice, I love her coat!!!
Nice head on her, man too bad she is not 2 huh, well you have a nice female.I wish I could have heard her bark more on her video, nice bite!.My female has a deep bark, I like that in a female. I really like Jiris' dogs.He's got some real nice a.s looking dogs..
By the way thanks Steven for the compliment!

I just bought a dog from Jiri at Jinopo Kennels in the Czech Republic and have studied the bloodlines extensively, so I can offer a little insight on a few questions:

The Pohranicni Straze Kennels is still run by the Czech Government/Border Patrol and is not and never has been, privately owned. Jiri Novotny was the director of ZPS for 21 years (As well as a Border Patrol Officer/Police) and made all the decisions regarding litters, evaluations, on hundreds of dogs, if not more. He has a TON of experience and a background that few people have been lucky enough to have been exposed to.

ZPS dogs were known as very hard, real life service dogs that were used extensively protecting the Former East Germany (DDR) and Czech Borders. Also, it was no accident that a lot of DDR dogs influenced the line or were brought into the bloodline as needed or wanted. Look at the pedigrees......

Since Jiri left ZPS in 2001 the quality of the dogs produced from that kennel have not been very good, at least not as good as when he was there as the director. The name has changed as well to "Od Policie Ceske Republiky".

To have a dog from the ZPS kennel, which the dog would have to be at least 6 years old now, is a desirable dog to have indeed if you like Czech dogs. You had to have a very good Stud Dog or Bitch to breed with one of the ZPS dogs and then get a puppy out of that kennel name.

If I remember correctly, Chasinta ZPS was imported by JC Weber out of Florida and is a beautiful black sable with a SVV1 title.

You should feel so lucky to get a dog like that the way you did, I wish you the best of luck with her in the future.

es indeed Art, I feel blessed. My and y significant other just bought a house in a neighborhood that is a little rough. The woman who previously owned the house got car jacked. Anyway, we were looking for a dog that would protect and so we started searching. We looked at Akitas, AB, Dobies, GSD's (showline, we didn't know there were working lines per se), AB's and we finally found the czech gsd's. We researched and asked around, talked to breeders about young dogs and everything was outrageously expensive! Finally, we contacted Ramona Helmer from Sapphire Shepherds about a 8 month old female. But after looking closely at her page we saw tha Casinta ZPS was up for adoption because the former owner passed away. So we talked to her, picked her up and now she's here in Minnesota. We drove to Montana to the border of Idaho, we hit a deer and my car was destroyed but finally got her. Lucky us! Now we're buying a puppy from Klatolklin (male) and eventually we'll buy a female from Jinopo . I want to learn everything I can from people in this forum. Everybody seems to know so much .
thx.

I got a puppy from Klatolklin Enrique. They are great people, super honest and very communicative. I got this pup... http://www.pedigreedatabase.com/gsd/pedigree/496527.html. She is also from Axel. She is almost 3 months old now and is a great little pup with no fear and alot of bite in her. Enjoy you new pup and feel confident with that kennel. Nice folks.

Cool, it's good to know. I've talked to them and they seem really nice people. I hope I can eventually work my pup. I guess Axel has Mink line on his mom's side, and I hear people say the offspring could be "nervy". What does that mean? Ange, I hear you have Mink, could you explain about this bloodline a little? I'll do my search also.

thx
