A number of our members went to the Sieger Show That's where the buying and selling goes on<G> It will be interesting to see if one of them will buy a dog there ?? Also just to remind you that everyone in the early days had dogs from Germany,and the eastern GSDC's usually brought over German Dan has done a great job with his German Am breedings. But I am sure they were fully informed and they work with their own and know what they can produce with that dog. Look at the pedigree's of their dogs....a very good mix. Many years ago there was a German dog I wanted to breed to so bad....he was incredible. Name of Zamb Von De Wienerau. Unfortunately technology is not what it is now and there was not an option for frozen semen. He was amazing and produced consistently. Have an old tape of him from the early 90's and he still moves my heart. Walter Martin was very honest about what strengths and weaknesses he had. Doesn't matter if it is a German or Am breeding...you still need to do a lot of research in their history.
