If you could own one GSD which dog would you choose and why?

by Kejnajn on 22 June 2005 - 14:06

I would choose Jaguar vd Mäusespitz, a dog with both good looks and good mentality!

My beloved Shana, officially known as KLC's Lady Baltimore. Never known *OF* a greater dog, much less had 1. (Speaking as a pet owner, basically only, not an expert in GSDs of any kind.) She had her couple issues, but was 95% perfect. No matter what any experts said. She proved it by living w/us all her life, dying at 11 in my arms, and never causing any trouble that whole time.

In my honest opinion and from seeing what was produced from this dog, Troll vh Milinda WUSV X4 SCHH3 FH IPO3 Kkl 2 , or G -Orry vh Antverpa 2XWUSV SIEGER SCHH3 IPO3 Kkl 2 . Both are super nice dogs, both compete at worlds, both have offspring compete at worlds. Both sound dogs and very nice dogs that produce other very nice dogs.

Although he's been gone for many years, I have always been very impressed with the photos I've seen of Ulk Winkingerblut and would be proud to own a dog like him today.

Kennel von Lotta

I would have my best friend ever, my dog Lotta. She was the perfect GSD, period. She was a one-person dog in the true meaning of this. She would just simply not notice any other people – like she wouldn’t pay attention to trees. She loved my family members too, but if there was an argument – it was clear whose dog she was! She was a high drive dog, and caused a lot of furniture damage as a “kid”, but after one year old she was just perfect! She was a mix of working and show lines, so she was beautiful too. She protected me in the streets on several occasions, and was VERY serious civil. She was the most devoted dog, and I loved her so much – I brought her over when moving from Europe (even thought it was "impossible" at that time) – couldn’t leave her with my parents. Oh gush, I can tell tons of stories about her, don’t want it to get boring. She was 11 years old when she died too. I wish so much I kept a puppy from her, but it was impossible in the apartment. (Raising a litter of GSD in the apartment is a thrilling experience, I tell you :))

From a breeder's aspect I would choose Uska vom Ochsentor. She produced Feli and Xiba who are behind almost every successful "Ochsentor" dog of today. I was fortunate enough to own Uska's littermate, Uso Ochsentor and he set the bar high for any other male I have owned since.

I would want to have Ando vom atlenberger-land or his son, Boy vom Tonsbrock :)

by Ryan on 22 June 2005 - 20:06

Interesting question. I have had many GSDs in my life and would not have traded any one for 10 Siegers. Parellels to would you rather have a child bred by Julia Robers and Richard Gere or one by Henry Kissinger and Dianne Sawyer? The emphasis on perfection of "standard" does nothing for me. I brefer the old german lines that have not been morphed into todays version. Have enly met a few german line dogs that dont have some wonderful outstanding trait.

Good reply, the type I couldn't resist! Really, I really loved that dog so much. I can't blame you for doing the same as I and picking your own! (Funny how they're both girls, huh?) My dog was half "American", half "German", and I swear that must actually be the best - both in looks & structure as well as character and constitution. There've always been at least some big issue if not several w/the "pures". My current all-German dog - bad allergies, wimpy, and shown food aggression. My sister's all-German dog of the past - wonderful dog, but bad allergies. Her current dog (allegedly all German but he looks too skinny to not have American) has floppy ears and is extremely excitable. Don't know about all-American - won't do it - but I do know they are too weak & loose in structure. So, I choose my own past Shana as the 1 I'd have - again. And this time maybe I'd take the chance and find her a good working/herding line German dog and breed her. She deserved to try making another great like herself. Instead of me stubbornly sticking to the American show thing where her stifles were just too straight making her "unbreedable", this despite never spaying her until 10 when she got some tumors!
