Nicole, to breed a shepherd is to breed the whole dog, not just something out of one's imagination. We are talking about working dogs, that goes along with breeding, or didn't you know that.
Don't forget you are in Canada, so the sites from the US don't really apply, they have their standards, we have ours. Just like they have their laws and Canada has theirs.
All we asked for were references of where your dog was trained, where it was certified, and discussed genetics. What is the real puzzle to me is how would one get along without a service dog while this dog was whelping, nursing pups and so forth. We have never heard of a service dog being bred, they are always altered before acceptance in a program.
All of these questions were simply questions, yet you call them attacks, that is what puts doubt in my mind.
You never have produced any proof or documentation, and I know you have not taken the trouble to study Fred Lanting on the whole sheperd dog
You have only posted some outdated links that are obsolete today.
And why cut down a forum on service dogs? People on the site seemed very knowledgeable to me and for the ordinairy person it would be a start to educate themselves. Unless they have changed drastically, I enjoyed the write ups immensely last year. I could go back and seek other info, they always provide useful links, or they used to. The Lion's Club of Canada have branches throughout Canada, so they will be able to answer any questions about service dogs as they promote and help all the training facilities.
When someone refuses to discuss what they are stating as proven, then to me it sounds more like someone who is just talking without knowing anything about breeding or service dogs, or the whole dog in general.
I have checked out a few sites that I found were from the US so wasn't really interested.
As for the Genetics about the working GSD like I said, Fred Lanting is a very good starting point. I'll ask again, did he ever breed WGSD's?
He breeds for the betterment of the breed I believe.
I find that reading your last post, you seem to be running away from us finding out the truth, so you accuse us of attacking you , insulting you etc., to me this is a sign of uncertainty and fear of us discovering something we shouldn't. No one is attacking or insulting anyone, we're all just interested in one thing....the working GSD as a whole dog and the standard set out by the parent clubs and the ckc and akc as to what is acceptable for a GSD.
