Hello All forum memebrs
Let me tell you about the ddr dogs. We have today both in Germany and USA Puppy sellers.I tell people who ask how do i know how to pick and pup and which breeder to buy from. First if the breeder has multiple litters at the same time this is not good.If they try to say take the puppy 6-7-8 weeks old this is not good. Why because you must spend time with the pups to watch and teach them it is big task with just one litter and how it done with 20-30 pups.The ddr breed lines all differ example the bloodline 5a best know for Don vom Rolandsteich this is a very slow maturing line some times taken 3 -5 year to show hard fight drive. So how do we pick a pup at 8 weeks old (you do not).You must imprint these pups and also know the difference between each dog.This is done by spending time with the litter. you will never see a color string on the necks of my pups i know each one. They also need to learn pack behavior. We need the breed lines
saved they bring diversity to the German Shepherd dog. I encourage breeders to save the ddr blood and to breed and raise and sell correctly. Greeting John
The DDR dogs were never known for extreme drives but balanced drives
Va salut pe toti,
Dati-mi voie sa va spun despre cainii DDR'isti. In ziua de azi si In State si in Germania avem vanzatori de catei (sau cum am spune noi caini pe banda). Celor care ma intreaba le spun cum sa se orienteze, de unde sa ia catei, de la care crescator. In primul rand, daca crescatorul are mai multe cuiburi in acelasi timp, nu e bine. Daca vor sa-ti dea catelul cand are doar 6, 7 sau 8 saptamani de viata, nici asta nu e bine. De ce - pt ca trebuie sa petreci timp cu cateii ca sa-i urmaresti si sa-i inveti, este o raspundere mare doar cu un singur cuib de catei, se schimba lucrurile cand e vorba de 20 - 30 de catei. Liniile DDR-iste difera, linia 5a f cunoscuta pt Don Rolandsteich, o linie care se maturizeaza lent, uneori fiind nevoie de 3-5 ani pana cand cainele arata un instict de lupta pronuntat. Deci cum sa iei catelul la 8 saptamani (nu faci asta). Trebuie sa cunosti individual cateii si sa cunosti diferentele intre ei. Asta se face doar petrecand timp cu cateii. Cand am un cuib de catei ii stiu pe fiecare individual dupa particularitati. De asemenea ei trebuie sa cunoasca mentalitatea de haita. Avem nevoie de liniile estice, ele dau diversitate rasei. Eu incurajez crescatorii sa salveze cainii DDR-isti si sa creasca si sa vanda catei, cu raspundere.
Cainii DDR'isti nu au fost cunoscuti pt drive extrem, ei aveau instincte echilibrate.
Va salut, John
