There was a breeder in Wisconsin, Dr Lyn Graves ( he passed away a few years
ago) of Trommel GSDs who was very successful at breeding German/European
lines. He had AKC champions and Schutzund titles on the same dogs! His
doctorate was in Zoology! I believe he taught at one of the many universities
in Wisconsin! I learned more about German Shepherds from him than any person
I know! His knowledge and expertise is lost to us now! Lyn was a maverick (
like me)... I like Mavericks..Ed

Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Not a good solution
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.

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/
