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!

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/
