Working line of German Shepherd pup?
What is the least price for a
Working line German Shepherd
not jus purebred but the real German shepherd
The price depends on the breeder. A responsible breeder of a working line GSD would charge, at the least, around $500, but it can go up to around $1500 or more. There’s a good reason for that too. Stud fees, registration fees, trialing costs, veterinary costs, genetic testing (oh so important in any breed, but especially GSDs), and simply raising the dog/bitch are all expenses that a good breeder must pay, and they can add up to a pretty hefty price.
Which are better family dogs, show-line or working-line German Shepherds?
I would rather have working lines over show lines any day.
Now if you are talking about American show lines I would definitely pass. The American show lines are very weak nerved to the point of being timid and they can not do the jobs they were originally bred for because they have been deformed, almost crippled and all the working abilities have been bred out of the dog. They look like they will fall apart if you touch them too hard on their hind quarters. How can that be good for a working dog? I do think most show lines have bred the working ability out of the dog and that caused temperament problems and most show lines whether it is American or German have traded the working abilitiy, the breed possessed, for looks and IMO have ruined todays German Shepherds.
A well rounded working shepherd has strong nerves and a very good temperament which makes it an excellent choice for schutzhund, herding, therapy work, S&R or basically any job and they make a great family dog.
I do like a good looking dog but I would rather have one that will not fall apart if I raise my voice or from a correction and one that will not crumble if it approaches something or someone unfamiliar.
german shepherd czech puppies
Are Czech German Shepherd good puppies?
Would a Czech German Shepherd make a good family dog? Are they aggressive in anyway?
Any German Shepherd has the potential to be aggressive, as does any other dog. It all depends on how they are trained, socialized, and the situations they are put into. A German Shepherd puppy from Czech lines is going to have a great amount of drive. These dogs need something to do, they need a job. You would need to know how to direct all of that drive in a positive way. The puppy would need a lot of training and exercise. If the puppy does not get the training/exercise it needs, it will become bored and find something to do (probably not something you are going to want him to be doing).
I would suggest that you do more research and decide if your family is ready and capable of handling a dog with high drive. If you still want a German Shepherd, but decide dog from Czech lines would not suit your family, do more research on the different lines of German Shepherds. German lines overall are going to have more drive than American lines will.
german shepherd czech lines
Where is a GSD website that talks about the lines?
I find it hard to explain the difference between the lines like Czech lines, German lines, American lines, and most of all, show lines, since both German and American have them… Its hard to explain to people that German show lines are about like American show lines because they assume since the German shepherd was originally from Germany they think that they are healthier but what it comes down to is that they both are unhealthy they just have different body builds… People will say “you wont find those angular backs in the German lines!”, not true, I have seen it myself!
ANYWAY, I need a website or something, even a book that talks about the lines would be great…
THANKS!!!

Is there anyone who can look at pics of my dog as well as his pedigree and give me an idea of his breedability?
I have a Czechoslovakian/German line working German Shepherd. He’s bigger than standard Shepherds and has a straight back (instead of the sloped Americanized dog). Is there anyone I can send information too that can judge his worthiness for breeding?
He’s our families best friend and I was told by the breeder when we bought him that he might be a great show dog (she had several trophies with the mother), but we don’t live near her anymore.
the american ones way overbred.any healthy dogs worth breeding if you want to breed it.just make sure it’s healthy.

What specificallly is a DDR German Shepherd Dog?
A figment of the imagination nowadays.
Also a sales gimmick to attract macho idiots (the sort who like to claim “I’m the only one who can control my dog!” – right uo to when they discover that they CAN’T control their dog….)
The history in brief:
After the allied armies reached Berlin near the end of WW2, Germany was divided up between the allied powers – a quarter each to Britain, France, the USofA, the USSR – as was Berlin itself. The USSR controlled the eastern sector of Germany, and set up what Sir Winston Churchill called an “Iron Curtain”. As Berlin was entirely within the eastern section (known as the DDR), that meant that there was no access to the allied sectors of Berlin, except through Soviet territory. And when the Soviets decided to close the roads & railway in & out of west Berlin (as a reprisal for one of the many disputes between the Soviet politicians and the “western allies” politicians) the allies had to resort to FLYING all supplies – food, fuel, clothing, materials – in to west Berlin’s citizens!
And in 1961 the Soviets constructed the Berlin Wall to ensure that spies couldn’t sneak from west Berlin into East Germany, and that citizens of the DDR couldn’t sneak into west Berlin and then fly to West Germany (known as the FDR – or was it the DFR?).
The mentor of one of my New York State pen-friends was one of the few who managed to escape from the DDR to West Germany (he had been warned that the police were about to conscript him & his dog for police dog work) – AND he managed to take his herding dog with him!
Because
(1) when the Soviet army reached Germany it was desperate for food, and so the soldiers killed & ate most of the dogs they found, and
(2) the DDR was totally cut off from the rest of Europe and so its blood-lines were isolated from the Siegers-etc,
over the decades the attitude & behaviour & shape of the DDR dogs differed somewhat from the dogs in West Germany (although not as much as the GSDs in NAmerica differ from the GSDs in Europe & South America).
But it all ended when the Soviets left Germany, and the citizens of Berlin dismantled the Berlin Wall in November 1989.
http://www.google.co.nz/search?hl=en&source=hp&q=Berlin++wall+falls&meta=&btnG=Google+Search will link you to plenty of information & videos to improve your awareness of the world.
For some purposes, the DDR stock (which was mainly bred to guard prisoners & military establishments – owning big pets was not something common in the DDR after the Soviets stripped as much equipment-etc as they could from the conquered territory) became superior to the other European GSDs, but for other purposes they became inferior. When the Berlin Wall was finally dismantled and the Soviets drove out of Germany, most breeders of DDR dogs enthusiastically mated their bitches to the top western GSDs, to “update” their type.
The best DDR-line GSDs are VERY intelligent, full of initiative. But many of them are reputed to be what would, in a human, be regarded as “dull” & “sullen”, needing to be bullied into performing. And others are totally unforgiving of poor handling, instantly biting a handler who abuses them.
So you REALLY need to know the actual animals in the pedigree if you are thinking of obtaining a GSD from what used to be DDR lines.
• To ask about GSDs, join some of the 400+ YahooGroups dedicated to various aspects of living with them. Each group’s Home page tells you which aspects they like to discuss, and how active they are. Unlike YA, they are set up so that you can have an ongoing discussion with follow-up questions for clarification. Most allow you to include photos in your messages.

Where can I buy a German Shepherd (DDR) in Sydney?
I really want to have a German Shepherd dog, And it’s from working line. There are so many GSD here but they all from show line. Any one can give me a suggestion?
Look up Schutzshep kennels in Australia. You might have to import a DDR dog if you can not find one in your country.
german shepherd police k9
whist watching one of fly on the wall police programmes .. . .k9 dog unit ?
i noticed that the k9 unit had a some what different type of german shepherd .
the guy doing the commentary for the Program said this is a special type of german shepherd , i just thought , it just a big sable german shepherd .
as the program continued it turned out that the police GSD was in fact a saarloos wolfhond cross german shepherd
how can this be legal for the police to you part wild , part wolfdogs , when here in the uk we have the dangerous dogs act ,
the officer said the dog enjoy’s his work , with a twinkle in his eye , what he was really saying , this police dog likes to bite.
its this right there is a law for us and a law for them ?
REMEMBER WE HAVE JUST HAD A CHILD BEEN MAULED, BY A UP AND COMING POLICE DOG ( WELL WAS)
do you think it acceptable for the police to use part wolfdog part GSD for work ? or are they still a little unstable and a little bit human aggressive for police work ?
All dogs are different. Wolf dog hybrids can be aloof and skitish, but there are extensive tests done for ability, training potential, etc.
Remember, it’s a team effort. The dog is only as good as his training and his handler. Sounds to me like someone wasn’t doing their job…and I don’t mean the K-9
K9 Handling in the Police Force?
I am working on my career planning stuff right now, and I need a list of sites that give information about Police Force K9 handling. (I am going into the Air Force with the intentions of being a K9 handler as a MP) and because I “can’t go to college” to be trained for that while in the Air Force, I have to come up with questions and answers about K9 handling. And so far all the sites that I have found are about importing GSDs (German Shepherd Dogs) and getting Belgian Malinois’ for police work, and where to go to buy them for your force, nothing about the training of the handler’s or anything. And I need to find out how I can interview some of the K9 handlers. I already have written an Email to the Sacramento PD (Where I live) but I need some more -in depth- information that I am having a hard time trying to provide.
You CAN”T apply for a specific job,dear.
You have to sign a contract,do ALL the basic training before you can even ask for special training,w/no guarantee of getting it.

Do I have a King Shepherd?
Hi, my name is Lizz, and I have a two year old German Shepherd, however he is about 27/28 inches tall from the shoulder down, does this mean he is a King Shepherd? He isn’t thick in weight, but he is just very tall, and the slope of his hind legs isn’t that deep compared to most Shepherds. Is this bad? He is of champion pedigree, but I havent been able to contact my breeder, answers would be appreciated.
King Shepherd isn’t a real breed. You have an oversized German Shepherd Dog. Even if he was 30+ inches, he’d still be a GSD.

Any suggestions for male German Shepherd’s name?
We just got a 5 year old male German Shepherd from the local German Shepherd Rescue group. He’s wonderful but I can’t think of a good name. Not Rin Tin Tin, and not the common ones (e.g., Prince, King, etc.). We kind of like 2 syllable names, not sure why. We’ve been watching his behaviour today for clues. He LOVES chasing tennis balls/rubber balls that we throw! I think he could do that all day. Any suggestions? I’ve looked on name websites but nothing “grabs” us! thanks!
Yeah, Linkoln…I like it.
2 syllables Has a hint of dignity and loyalty Feels fresh Not slapstick…(won’t be embarrasing to yell it in the park.) Good luck, let us know what you pick when you find out : )
Men are an easy target to be judged by women. They are logical, with fear in their heads and almost survive boring life style. They always dream to be accompanied by a strikingly lovely young brunette with a pure-white German shepherd as their future girlfriend/wife. But when time comes, they try too hard not to even look at her because of their insecurity.
On the other hand, women know who had sent them and why, and they are filled with a sense of power, security and confidence. They had learned long ago to trust their instincts because instincts and intuitions help them always to have the best sexual kings in their lives for fun and excitement.
How to Be a Sexual King?
A sexual king knows that how to create sexual feelings inside women. They project mysteriousness, amazing sense of excitement and wild sexuality in order to make women lust after them.
1. Sexual Mysteriousness: women are always aroused by sexual mysteriousness instantly. It is because it gives them a sense of danger, masculinity and wildness. You should not explore yourself soon in front of women. Let her explore you because your mysteriousness will explode sexual warm feelings inside her body.
2. Sense Of Excitement: Sense of excitement is not about having lots of money, lavish life-style, private planes or legendary homes. It is all about having charisma and passion and it is larger than life for women. You should often show your passion to women and let them feel that a day without fun and excitement is a day wasted for you.
3. Wild Sexuality: You have to take charge of your sexuality because women find those men irresistible who project sexual dominance. Your wild sexuality not only brings excitement in their lives but also makes them putty in your hands.
“A wild sexual king knows that it is all about hitting the right spots for sending women into sexual orbits and this thing makes him a SEXUAL GOD for women.”
If you want to know exactly that how to be her sexual GOD and create extreme sexual attraction then check this out… Hottest Seduction Guides.
For more sexual ideas, tricks, tips, and a sure-fire system to turn your woman into the sexy nymph you have dreamed about, go to Hottest Lovemaking Guides and create the MILF you deserve.

German Shepherds and Winter Weather?
Alright, I’m currently in southern California, but I’m moving to West Virginia soon. Last time I was in snow, was when I was living in Connecticut when I was under 10 years old. I own an almost two year old German Shepherd, and I’m just curious about snow. I know I shouldn’t keep her out for hours on end, but for walks/jogs, or just to let her out to the bathroom.
It doesn’t seem like it gets too cold there (maybe low 20’s) but considering that the closest she has been in is maybe low 40’s or high 30’s I was wondering if I need to get her anything? One of those doggy blankets?
Any winter weather doggy advice would be great!
Your Dogs are going to LOVE the Snow !!! I’ve never met a German Shepherd YET- that didn’t go out rolling around in the stuff- & tasting it to see what it was Like ! The cold won’t bother them- but their Coats WILL grow thicker in response to it (so expect alot MORE shedding next Spring). I don’t think a doggy Blanket will be necessary… -but I bet they would appreciate a big old pillow, or cushion to sleep on- on those long, cold, W. Virginia Winter nights… Have a good Move! 
Any dog breeder in west Virginia?
Any PROFESSIONAL, legal, non backyard dog breeders for showing dongs of the fallowing breeds…
German Shepherd dog
Rottweiler
Golden Retriever
Doberman Pinser
Belgian Sheepdog
Pharaoh hound
English Setter
Can you give me an email.
Note: only of your a breeder of the SAME breed for about the next 3 years. Not ready for a dog now.
thank you much.
I dont know if its illegal or just frowned upon, but in west Virginia, it just plain isn’t right to show DONGS (as you put it) of any breed of animal, or species for that matter.

Help getting a dog?????????????????
K, so my parents finally let me get a dog, but im not sure which breed to get. Either, the German Shepherd, Czechoslovakian wolfdog, Great Dane, and there was this other dog that looked like a Czechoslovakian wolfdog but it was black, i have never seen a black one. Which do u think? If age matters then im the youngest, 16.
2 of my cousins have German Shepherds, but give me the reason i should get them?
Excercise is not a problem i go running everyday and have a big yard
Wolfdogs and German Shepherds are EXPERIENCE owners ONLY. Great Dane i think are probably one of the better choices but still NOT ideal as 1timers dog due to there SIZE!
Remember to choose a breed that compatable to your lifestyle, and as far i’m aware you based your choice solely on looks! Which is number 1 wrong in the 1st place.
Top 5 considerations
1st thing Temperment
2nd thing Energy Requirements
3rd thing is Grooming
4th thing is Intendent living conditions
5th SUITABLITY TO YOUR LIFESTYLE!
LOOKS SHOULD BE THE LAST THING ON YOUR MIND. UNLESS YOU PLAN TO SHOW!
German Shepherds
German Shepherds are very adaptable, extremely intelligent and eager to learn. These Alsatians can be trained to an extremely high level as guide dogs, avalanche dogs, tracking dogs and police dogs, Alsatians regularly win advanced obedience and field trials. Most Shepherds are reliable, self-confident, loyal to a fault, protective, brave and even-tempered. Unfortunately some breeders are offering shy and nervous Alsatians for sale. These dogs should be avoided at all costs as they can be dangerous. Alsatians are good with children and should be socialized and obedience trained when they are puppies. Do not train Shepherds as guard dogs as they are already protective of their families. Shepherds need lots of attention and physical and mental activity to keep happy. Alsatians make excellent watchdogs. German Shepherds do better with experienced dog owners.
Unstable temperaments. German Shepherd Dogs are a dime a dozen, and most of them are bred and offered for sale by people who don’t have the slightest idea of how to breed good-tempered dogs. Obedience instructors and behavioral consultants see LOTS of German Shepherds with neurotic behaviors, including aggression, biting, sharpness, and/or extreme fearfulness.
Providing enough exercise and mental stimulation. German Shepherds MUST have regular opportunities to vent their energy and do interesting things. Otherwise they will become rambunctious and bored — which they usually express by destructive chewing. Bored German Shepherds can make a shambles of your house and yard.
Providing enough socialization. Most German Shepherds have protective instincts toward strangers. They need extensive exposure to friendly people so they learn to recognize the normal behaviors of “good guys.” Then they can recognize the difference when someone acts abnormally. Without careful socialization, they may be suspicious of everyone, which could lead to biting. Some German Shepherds go in the opposite direction — without enough socialization, they become fearful of strangers, which can lead to defensive biting.
Animal aggression. Some German Shepherds are dominant or aggressive toward other dogs of the same sex. Some have strong instincts to chase and seize cats and other fleeing creatures. If anything goes wrong in the breeding, socializing, training, handling, or management of this breed, it is capable of seriously injuring or killing other animals.
Heavy shedding. German Shepherds shed only once a year — for 365 days. In other words, they shed constantly. You’ll find hair and fur all over your clothing, upholstery, carpeting, under your furniture, on your countertops — even in your food. Frequent vaccuming will become a way of life. Make sure you’re REALLY up for this.
Serious health problems. From hip and elbow problems, to bone diseases and cancer, to stomach disorders and skin diseases, German Shepherds are one of the riskiest of all breeds in the health department.
Legal liabilities. German Shepherds may be targeted for “banning” in certain areas, or refusal of homeowner insurance policies. In this day and age, the legal liabilities of owning any breed that looks intimidating and has a history as a guard dog should be seriously considered. People are quicker to sue if such a dog does anything even remotely questionable.
Czechoslovakian wolfdog
Temperament: Czechoslovakian Wolfdogs are intelligent and trainable, but get bored with repetition and often need motivation to be trained. They are lively, active and fast. Although some are shy, this is a disqualifying trait in the Czechoslovakian Wolfdog. They are fearless and courageous, and maintain a pleasant sounding howl. They bond strongly with their owner and family, but not well with other people. They are not adverse to other household pets, as they bond with them as well. Encounters with strange animals, although, may result in confrontation. Czechoslovakian Wolfdogs have intense instincts to hunt when they are pups, and this should discouraged early on in order to prevent aggressiveness in adults. Although adolescents may go through a difficult teenage life, females are generally easy to control. Czechoslovakian Wolfdogs are extremely good at trailing a scent.
Living Environment: Czechoslovakian Wolfdogs need space to exercise. The best owner for this breed would be an experienced, firm owner or family who lives in a rural environment. Czechoslovakian Wolfdogs are kind to pets of the family, but do not get along well with other animals, including neighboring dogs.
Great Dane
The Dane is gentle, quiet, well-mannered, loyal and affectionate towards its family. This breed is wonderfully devoted to its family and it would rather lean against you for a pat, than be aggressive towards anyone. The Dane is great with family children but small children must be supervised carefully. The Dane is so large that it must be socialized and trained to behave very cautiously around children and pets. Because the Dane is so large early obedience is essential to prevent it from exerting dominance. Young Danes, up to three years old, can be boisterous and need strict supervision. Danes make excellent watchdogs gut shouldn’t be trained to be guard dogs as they are too large to be aggressive. Great Danes are best suited for experienced dog owners.
Danes are very adaptable and can even live in a large apartment if they have lots of daily running and exercise. This breed’s fast growth makes them prone to injuries – so exercise them carefully when they are young. Great Danes love to be warm and comfortable and need a very soft bed. They can adapt to being left alone during the day if they get lots of exercise and human companionship in the morning and evening
The Hebrew word for fire is Esh – the English word “ash” is derived from it.
Sanskrit, the language used long ago by religious scribes and wise men, nowadays conveying ancient messages to us from holy texts, is presently only a liturgical language like Latin. The Indian Vedas were written in Sanskrit. In addition to liturgical purposes, this language is spoken at some places even today, particularly in some institutions where people feel the need to reinvigorate it. In the Indian state of Madhya Pradesh, there are villages where ordinary people speak Sanskrit. Sanskrit is used also in Mattur, a village in the Indian state of Karnataka.
Similarities between Sanskrit and other languages
Throughout their long but preserved history, the Hindu gods have taken other form than the one they had originally had in the Vedas. At some historical times, Surya was more important than Vishnu. Shiva, too, does not have his name (Shiva) in the Vedas. Scholars believe that a much older name represents him instead – Rudra, which sounds like the word used for the most ancient Slavic god – Rod, who was the primordial god – creator of the universe.
The origin of the word “red” (English), or “rot” (German) probably comes from the primordial adoration of the god of fire, most likely a deity like Slavic Rod, Hindu Agni or Rudra. You will find many words with similar sounding both in European languages and Sanskrit – for example, the Sanskrit word “rakta” – English “red” (“rudy” in Czech, “rouge” in French, “rojo” in Spanish, etc.). The origin of the word “red” most probably dwells in fire, which had been adored and personified by all ancient and tribal cultures.
Every religion, although surely partially based on real events, somehow deforms or changes over time. Slavic people have a legend about the creation of the world:
In the beginning, there was only the great darkness and endless chaos. Its waves whirled in the empty space and flowed around the golden egg, which was in the middle. Rod – the originator of everything – was in the egg. When Rod uttered his first word, his son Svarog was born.
The Slavic creation legends slightly vary in dependence on the region (Serbia, Slovenia, Russia, Poland, etc.). Swarog or Svarog is the Slavic sun and fire god. In the Slavic religion, Svarga is heaven. In Sanskrit, Svarga is heaven too.
Some Hindu gods have remarkable similarity with Slavic deities – both in pronunciation and in significance. Sanskrit and Slavic words may not be always entirely similar (in pronunciation and connotation), but may carry remarkable elements of similarities like in the case of the Slavic god Veles (god of shepherds and a great serpent), who bears a resemblance to Vedic Vala, a Hindu Naga (serpent) and Asura (mostly sinful and power-seeking deities) mentioned in Rig Veda over twenty times.
Lord Shiva’s attributes are materialized in a Slavic female deity called Siwa, Ziva, or Zivena – goddess of fertility and love. A similarity with Sanskrit appears in the fact that the word “ZIVA” means (in Sanskrit) “the one who is kind”. Unlike war or scorpion goddesses, goddesses of love are kind for most of the time.
There is yet another similarity between Shiva and Ziva – goddess Kali and Morena, the sister of Ziva. Both Kali (Hindu goddess) and Morena (Slavic goddess) are goddesses of death. In Hinduism, Kali is tightly associated with Shiva, as she is a form of Durga, the Shiva’s consort. There is not a big difference between these two, as Shiva’s association to Kali is as strong as Ziva’s connection to Morena. If we look at similarity in pronunciation, Slavic Morena has its equivalent in the Sanskrit word maraNaanta (coming to death).
As concerns symbolism, lingam is a Hindu (Shiva’s) symbol for fertility – the same dimension that ancient Slavs attributed to Ziva.
Vedic god Surya has his Slavic equivalent in goddess of beauty – Zora, Zarya, or Zori. There is also the word Zorya, which identifies less important goddesses – Slavic guardians of the dawn, but connection to the sun is indisputable.
Brief summary of Slavic gods
Rod (Creator) > Svarog (sun god and helper creator) > and his three sons > Svarozic, Dazhdbog, Perun.
Triglav is a Slavic word for god “with three heads”, almost identical to Hindu Trinity (Trimurti). The oldest meaning of the word Triglav characterized the following three deities – Svarog, Perun, and Dazhdbog; however, Veles or Svantovit later replaced Dazhdbog. Triglav has its Hindu equivalent in Brahma (almost always pictured with three heads), or Dattatreya – Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva in one – an incarnation of the divine Trinity (Trimurti). Hindus believe that this form of God had once appeared here on earth.
Slavonic svastika
Hindus use svastika as a symbol of good luck. Boreyko coat of arms is the symbol of svastika pointing to the left; it had been used in Poland. Svastika can also be found in symbolism of Svarog.
Christians destroyed almost all cultural heritages of the Slavs, so our knowledge about Slavic deities is not so comprehensive as in Hinduism, which has continued almost entirely preserved from the ancient times until today.
A few Sanskrit and Russian words
Slavic languages are similar, so the comparison shown below is made of words that sound equally and mean the same thing in Russian, Czech and Slovak. If you want to find out more about Sanskrit words, visit this website – http://spokensanskrit.de/
The first words on the left are in Russian, then follow words in Sanskrit and finally you may learn what they mean in English:
vsegda sadaA always
putnik pathika pilgrim (or traveler)
zit jiivati live (“jiivati” is pronounced similarly in Russian)
kogda kada when
nebo naaka heaven
snežnij sahima snowy
mama maatR mom
brat bhraatR brother
We can also look at similarities in grammar. Slovaks and Russians use vocative, which is a term hardly explainable in English in one word, as English (and many other European languages) does not use it (Sanskrit does). Vocative is scarcely present in Slovak, but it still occurs. The Wordnet dictionary of synonyms describes the term “vocative” as “the case (in some inflected languages) used when the referent of the noun is being addressed”. In addition, English and possibly many other European languages, except for Russian and other Slavic languages, do not have, for example, other cases like the locative case.
And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed. Exodus, 3:2
