I remember some good friends who were breeders of GSDs here in California.
They decided to breed into the German lines. After a few years she told
me you should breed to a German male, then take your best bitch, and breed
her to a solid American German shepherd, then from that litter select your
top bitch and breed her to a top producing American dog, then from that
litter find a show quality dog to show.
They no longer are in shepherds.

Well, I read, I think I read, some years back that wolf blood would be
great for the breed, dilute the health issues we do have, prevent others from
coming out….my mom wanted someone to do it, but not her. Me either. I won’
t deal with hybrids, but it would be interesting to see how that would
work, one generation of 50/50, and then back to GSD’s 100%, see what you have
in 6 generations……
Just a thought.

The GSD and you!
Hope you are calmed now.

Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] An interesting question..
http://nordgen.org/index.php/en/content/view/full/3231
This came up on my Facebook newsfeed and it raises certain very
interesting questions. Rare breeds aside, I wonder….
There ‘should be’ enough diversity in the German Shepherd breed to not
have to pursue a genetic rescue, but my curiosity having been aroused..
IF it was necessary to bring a (or some) other breeds into the GSD, which
breeds would you think compatible and capable of improving the breed.
Remember, the GSD started from a mix of breeds. Would we go back to them IF
we
knew exactly what they were? or maybe… DO we know exactly what they were/
