Roguedog Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Hi guys, Hoping someone in this section might be able to point me in the direction of good quality older style working german shep breeders with medium to high drive... my 3-legged girl is on her way out (3 forms of cancer, only 7 years old) im hoping to get another 12 months out of her but thought now would be a good time to start talking to breeders and attending shows/comps to talk to people (not looking for a pup until after she has gone).. after attempting to look through the large amount of GSD breeders in DOL (there is heaps!) I decided to give up and just ask in the forums if anyone had a list of events or knows any breeders... Thanks!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nekhbet Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 PM Jeff Jones as he is up in NSW have you thought about a Malinois? www.malinois.net.au Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aussienot Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Try Beychief - Christine Anderson. In Tahmoor, south of Camden. She breeds both show and old style working lines. Details are in the breeders directory, and on her puppy listing there is notice of a potential working litter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both breeders mentioned above have produced some great German Shepherds that I have worked and trained with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alpha bet Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Have you contacted the GSDC in NSW - they have puppy listings...... would have thought they were the first port of call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zug Zug Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 There's a really good working breeder in Adelaide if you want to look more broadly. Her dogs all have obedience titles etc. - straight backs, working lines etc. I don't know her prefix but could put you in touch if you want to follow her up. Sounds like you may have some good choices to follow up in NSW too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nekhbet Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Have you contacted the GSDC in NSW - they have puppy listings...... would have thought they were the first port of call. GSDC does not welcome people who work their dogs in Schutzhund or as security dogs. Many working breeders are hence not members, especially if pp/security/military/police dogs are their bread and butter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are many good breeders thru the GSDC who have good working lines. After all the stud dogs brought into australia generally have their SchIII. Working bloodlines does not necessarily mean that breeders who just breed for security. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree Alpha Bet the GSDCA should be the first port of call, but in the past they have been complete and utterly useless to people inquiring about contacting breeders of working line German Shepherds.

Working bloodlines does not necessarily mean that breeders who just breed for security. Alphabet, sorry should have been more specific, my three legged girl was a working dog until she lost her leg, she still currently works but not for security/protection, she now helps me rehabilitate aggressive dogs (and does a damn good job at it too), all my dogs are family pets first but also working animals, not one of my dogs is a stranger to the sleeve! I am looking for a security type working dog, this dog will hopefully be a an all rounder (including hopefully schutzhund) dog, I would have contacted GSDC but figured it would be quicker (and easier, lazy me!) to ask people here who have direct experience with the breeders and their offspring either through ownership, training or competion. I will give them a call tomorrow however and see if they can also help. agreed working bloodlines doesnt mean breeders who just breed for security, I would happily contact one who breeds both for show and work provided they dont have any (pardon the term) roach backs in lines.. not wanting to start arguements, just my preference... I really appreciate all the help here guys, I have a few leads so far but please keep them coming, the more working line breeders I can look at and talk to the better!

Nekhbet Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 alpha bet I know many working GSD breeders, I dont think one is a member of GSDC. Most people who buy working line want to see physical proof of a canines capability before purchasing a pup and most breeders work their dogs as well. Not all working GSDs come with Sch titles either, some go straight into civil work which is not Sch/IPO. Hence on paperwork no title as it is not a recognised persuit by the ANKC or GSDC I know what you mean Rubidoo ... I wish my Krueger hadnt been PTS every single day, as much as I love my Malinois (who is 6 on the 22nd! My god do those Mals mature well with age!!!) Krueger left pawprints on my heart. And you know he only showed workability for me. From a supposed failure to a massive ball of potential. I just can't go through another shep again (didnt I say that last time *sigh*) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just can't go through another shep again (didnt I say that last time *sigh*) Nekhbet, GSD's have that effect on a lot of us. A number of years ago I lost two at 10 and 11 yrs one month apart I swore I'd never have another one, and I must admit it took me 7 years before I finally decided I "needed" a shep in my life (a female). I've since lost that beautiful girl (12yrs) and have two more - the heartache when they're gone is terrible, but while they're here there's nothing like the love of a GSD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
