It all depends – were the pasterns REALLY down, or just a little “givey” – did
you see the puppy, or was this just something the new owners told you ? AND,
how long before they came up ? AND, again, did you see this puppy, or just
relied on what the owners told you ? In any event, I would try another
breeding with him, but not with my bitch !!!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA – (Not that
I have any say in who you breed her to, but tell me this dog’s pedigree )

Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] What would YOU do!
I have a 5 year old Black male that Gail Hardcastle once called gorgeous at
his Futurity and rightfully so placed him fifth in his class of six due to his
poor pasterns, never showed him again and his pasterns never improved..... this
male is large, plush ( many thought he was a coat) a head to die for and
despite his pasterns he is a very good mover! We decided to breed him about
three years or so ago, maybe four years ago.... we breed to my half German
bitch, so this was an outcross breeding! Had a small litter of three. At seven
weeks old the pick puppy bitch's pasterns went down! The new owners were able
to get them up and in fact showed this bitch, a very nice mover in my opinion!
.... I decided to NOT breed this male again.... now I'm having second
thoughts..... what would you do? All opinions welcome, I am NOT sensitive.... Ed
