here is a question for all you German line stud dog owners- your dog has all the requirements for breeding and someone with an AKC/CKC female approaches you about breeding to your male. The female is average looking with, say, an obedience titled and a few points towards her CH or something. She has a good temperament from what you can see- of course you cant tell that just from looking at her but just say she has a gd. temperament and her hips and elbows are xrayed OFA good/normal elbows. The owner loves her dog but for whatever reason wants to breed to a German male. Do you breed to the female or recommend she not 'mix' the two different 'types' of shepherds? I wonder how often this type of corssing is done with good results?
I found this elsewhere on the net. Of course I had to respond in the negative and have the AKC Shepherd freaks jump down my throat. Just seems scary that any idiot can buy a dog and breed it.
I say "Don't breed to the female, and recommend that she not cross the types." The main reason I say don't breed your stud dog to her is that when she gets a bunch of not so great puppies YOUR STUD will be blamed. The studs always get the credit if the pups are great, and the blame if the pups aren't. Some people are of the mindset that "If I don't breed my stud to her bitch and take her money, someone else will". To that I saw, "let them".
