Tidbits on the Lierbergs blood
4/14/1983
descended back on DDR lines that do not include, for the most part, female lines that were noted to bring with them Pronounced active aggression brought on via social aggression, or social dominance.
The
tail carriage of the Lierbergs is shown in two ways. One is the high tail set on the croup, and high tail carriage you mentioned, accompanied by a gentle hook upwards. The tail is bushy, but does not show the bottle brush, just bushy, with 'feathers' flowing most of the way down the tail towards the tip with the 'feathers' both thinning and shortening in a somewhat linear manner towards the end of the tail. Theis physical characteristic, coupled with a confident attitude on the trial field, in my opinion, is sufficient enough
The Betty (Betty vom Eningsfeld) line is a line that is well known to produce high social aggression. Twenty or so years ago rumors abounded about how one of the Lierberg dogs had killed at least two dogs on two different occasions at dog shows. I don't know how accurate the rumor was, but I can tell you from experience that the Lierberg dogs can be dog-dog aggressive as you stated in your question. However, the worst line is the third female line that I have not disclosed yet because I am still sorting that line out via multiple females/ branch lines. My experience with that bloodline, which flows heavily through Umsa vom Bungalow leads me to believe that female line is the worst when it comes to dog aggression. Dogs from that bloodline that display
dog-dog aggression get a glazed look in their eyes and cannot be controlled short of knocking them out. They simply will not recognize voice commands when they are in that zone!
The second tail that is found on the Lierbergs, and was viewed a lot on the von der Lindenhalle dogs is a tail that is lower set on the croup, does not have an upward hook, and is not held high. It is usually held at an almost horizontal level to the dog, maybe slightly elevated from the horizontal, and usually is accompanied by a twist in the tail that is found at about 2/3rds to 3/4 of the way down the tail, and that portion of the tail, that remains after the twist, is usually held downwards when the dog is excited.
Some stubbornness can be found via the Lierbergs, but in about 6-8 times out of ten they displayed the desire to work with man, and displayed good obedience, particularly a clear head accompanied by obedience in civil work. Pronounced courage, and firm grip coupled with a hard bite was, and still is the hall mark of this bloodline!
Crok's pedigree also shows several lines to Betty vom Eningsfeld, as well as Sali von der Krone, a dog noted for founding a significant female line, particularly the line that extends through the female dog Hella von Memmingen went on to produce a significant female bloodline that carries much sharpness and high energy that is still found within the phenotype of
many, many SG and V rated dogs on the trial field today. The fusion of both the Sali blood to the Lierberg blood can yield a synergism that produces high energy, moderate to high sharpness coupled with Pronounced Courage and a desire to work with the man obediently. These are in my opinion, the bloodlines, combination of bloodlines that most Schutzhunders and K9
officers are looking for (JMHO). What combination of those genetics are any particular Schutzhunder or K9 officer looking for, I can't tell, and even if I could, one can never know how those lines will recombine in a given litter, never mind a given puppy!
