In the early 80’s, I think it was, we bred our bitch out of Brian – Deannson’s
on Broadway – to a beautiful import. Never again.
Beautiful dogs. We knew they could do everything. Alas, they could not win in
conformation, schutzhund or anything. The best parts of both did not surface.
The worst did.
Lesson – never bread to compensate or you will get the worst parts. But they
were the smartest dogs I’ve ever seen.

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.

How do you improve upon perfection?
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/
