Well this is the way do thinks..
I scroll the net up and down looking for progenies of the dogs I admire the most (Zorro, Held, Ingo..) and based on that I decide which dogs to go for. But also, very important in my view, is to actually SEE the dog yourself before deciding to breed the female to him; simply because a piece of paper indicating great lineage does not necesarily mean the dog is great as far as character (you can see the physique in pictures I guess). In the end, if you ask me, what you see is what you get, to some degree of course.
And needless to say I put working abilities before looks! That's for sure! If the parents are healthy, have had good progenies AND they are "hard", then I am a happy man. There is a clear tendancy to breed for sport these days and it's becoming harder and harder to find what you and I call a "real" dog.

Deci cam asa procedez eu..
Caut net'ul in lung si-n lat in incercarea de-a gasi progeniturile cainilor mei preferati (cum sunt Zorro, Held sau Ingo) si pe baza a ceea ce gasesc iau decizii. Dar mai cred si ca este f important sa vezi cainele pe viu, pt ca "ce e in mana nu-i minciuna", pt ca un document care indica parinti / bunici super nu garanteaza intotdeauna ca animalul e intr-adevar de exceptie.
Si desigur ca pun abilitatile de lucru inaintea aspectului / frumusetii! Aste este regula de aur! Daca parintii sunt sanatosi, au avut progenituri bune si mai sunt si "duri", atunci sunt un om fericit. Exista o tendinta clara de a se promova caini de sport si devine din ce in ce mai greu sa gasesti acel timp de caine "de real".
