This from another list. I've looked at pedigrees for quality, health, long lifes, good combinations and lots more, but not for 4,4--3,3--2,2. Without starting a war of good or bad, could somebody give me a SIMPLE explanation of what that means? I'm assuming repeating a certain dog/dogs in the lines??? "Some breed clubs and kennel clubs have taken the lead on this issue. For example, line breedings of 2-2 and closer are banned for GSDs in Germany. Banned by the breed club and national kennel club. A breeder who violates this rule will not be able to register the pups as GSDs." "You may never know what results come from your action. But if you do nothing, there will be no result."
