I do understand your choice of temperament and that is your choice as a breeder. I have a different way of looking at things and to me temperament is only one piece of the breeding puzzle.This does not mean you are wrong or right, we all have and make
choices.
John the reason I chose to promote that type of temperament is a pretty simple one - just look around, tell me if the modern GS dog is the tuff dog we all once knew. To me that spells that breeders have either ignored or overlooked the temperament aspect and I guess my desire is not to do the same. Having said that, I am totally aware that mixing tuff sire with tuff dam will throw tuff pups. I totally understand that.
Breeding is not always instant results history has shown breeders have spent a life time on there commitments.
That is perfectly true, just like you said before, there was only ONE Don R, ONE Bernd L, ONE Held R and so on. I come to learn breeding is not as simple as one or many may think, unless one is happy with the outcome with no consideration for various aspects.. which is probably what puts a smile on the faces on those just looking to make money out of dogs.
