Thank you for being very honest in this assessment. You said everything as it is like always. Everything was spot on. She is only 10 months.. plus female 😂 many would breed her without hesitation. I liked her stability. Totally understand your desire to look for perfection. I would do the same. Thanks Haz. Learn a lot from your videos.
Yeah the whole “It’s how you raise them” gets a bit oversold. It obviously matters but every dog will have or not have predilections toward certain behaviors no matter what you do.
Nice video. I have a girl like this. Amazing ball drive. She would spend a day searching the property for a ball. It’s amazing all our other dogs are terriers. I thought no other breed would out pass them for drive.
This is a good video Haz! I like her but I think you made the right call and setting an example for other breeders. A few questions that maybe you can address in your next video; 1. What is your opinion on the growling with the first two bites? Nerves or no? 2. Do you consider the genetic traits fully developed by the time the dog is 10 months? 3. How is your Bordy female looking so far?
I appreciate your free videos. I have a great Pyrenees nine months old. He’s learning pretty well. Except today when three little dogs were around he wouldn’t come back even with a strong 80 on caller he just shook it off. I’m 63 and I’ve had about five dogs and this is the first one that knows what to do thanks to Haz!
Yeah this is what I meant with the lacklustre comment lol, what I really meant was lacking that little extra fire in protection to hurt the decoy. But the fundamental character strength, food drive and ball drive from your dogs seems as good as you could get without ruining the nerve side. So clearly a quality dog. Maybe it’s harder to produce these nasty intent dogs than I might have thought. Bit of luck involved and also maybe just not so commonly selected for recently in Czech lines so hard to extract from the current lines available. I would suggest Staatsmacht lines for your programme I think they’d compliment your dogs well as they’re similar to yours in character and the studs (e.g JT staatsmacht) definitely have the fire in protection.
Thanks haz I love your vidos and you show step by step and don't leave people hanging in training and your honest and don't hid any thing from all of use out their iv been watching u from day one I tell other about u can you use her for tracking and she would make a nice family pet or would she be better with more training thanks 👍
I think u are absolutely right as far as what to do with this pup,if u haven’t pointed out the things u look for and tested her thoroughly I might not have noticed,however she def is in the works of something great.I’d like a dog like that and she seemed pretty tough for her age
In another video, say that you are generally not trying to produce litters that are too extreme (specifically where too many puppies are like Gage) presumably because they would be "too much dog" for most of your clients who are looking for club level sport dogs, police dogs, or family protectors. But if you breed females much stronger than this one to males like Viktor, isnt that what you will risk getting? or will the downward slope in breeding still make too many extremes unlikely? If the latter, this really makes you wonder just how strong both dogs must be genetically to produce litters like the Eisernen Kreuz D litter for example
How do you pick from your pups to decide who stays in your program, other than health and structure? What if you get a puppy who has great structure, be too nervy, but the other pup has not so good structure but good nerves?
I think a little mistake happened at 17:26, when the person with the leash stepped backwards as you approached the dog before you confronted her. That may got her in a backward thinking mindset as you confronted her, hence her grip was a little off. Pls correct me if I'm wrong. I don't know the professionell English terms. I may be wrong Pls correct me.
Hi Haz! Very interesting video! I have only one question: those are the things that are checked only on those type of dogs ( big, guarding, working type breeds) or would you check the same things for another breed?
Its better for home protection as she is friendly and her drive is also good but not that for Police or military purpose as there should be more perfection in each field. Its always a great and lots of information I get watching your videos. Nice keep it up and keep posting more videos. Take care.
You very politely destroyed 99% of “working” dog breeders; and educated the buyers. As 99% of other breeders would have no problem in breeding her. If I am being honest - I wouldn’t disagree. But just shows your super high standards.
I really enjoyed this video. I think your spot on, she’s a good dog and maybe a great dog someday. But like you said your not looking to breed a well trained dog. You could always give her to someone that will work her as a sport dog or a family Pro and keep breeding rights, but that’s easier said than done.
My GSD is scared of fireworks and thunderstorms. As soon as he hears thunderstorm he is coming upstairs to my room. I alwyas thought he would get used to it at some point but it has been 6 years and that has not been the case. Is that indication of bad genetics or something i cant train him on?
Do you ever breed for the purpose of the puppies being search and rescue dogs? Where I live they have shed hunts, where the dog is judged on finding deer antlers that have been shed off by the deer. A lot of the dogs used are retrievers but I love German Shepherds.
Genetics is way more than the individual dog, its about prepotency and the dogs stacked in behind that made the individual, a nervous dog can throw rock steady and rock steady can throw nervous, with a really good bloodline you can take chances breeding dogs that have a fault if they have other qualities that are reflective of the bloodline, the only rule is don't double up on any fault, most great performance animals are better than what they came from, that's how prepotency works as nature is looking for the average while breeders stack traits to raise the average.
My dog has good food drive and likes racing cars and bikes. I never bothered building ball drive. Is there ever too late of a time to train nose work/tracking?
The dog nose is not a skill just like your eyes and capability to look for something is not a skill .the skill is the handlers knowledge and capability to motivate the dog to search use the ball as an explosive motivator for the new game since you didn't even need to build the drive for it, and your dog will find anything keep it fun.
@@thunderandstorm4957 you still have to teach them... So you can prompt them. She goes nose down to track other dogs she smells at stores... It's fun to watch
So I understand that she's not the right dog for you as far as breeding stock goes. But in the whole realm of the working dogs that you're interested in do you think there's any place to breed her? Maybe somebody that's looking for a specific type dog that's just a little bit different than you're wanting? I only ask this because there are so many badly bred German Shepherd's out there that it would be nice to get some above average bloodlines going.
i think that if you breed good dogs like her, too, the pool of good stable dogs increases in the long term perhaps? I hope someone else will breed her if she is healthy etc. :D Thank you very much for sharing this! Very interesting and opens my eyes a bit for when its time to choose a puppy. :)
Thanks for differentiating between a real deal police dog and typical prey monster dogs that fold under extreme reality pressure. Violent hardcore suspects don’t give a damm about a dog’s lineage. When it’s getting the crap beat out of it with full force kicks punches slamming against walls, cars etc only the top 10% genetic dogs love that fight and unleash holy hell to their dying breath. Yes …… dying breath I was blessed to have worked such a PSD K9. The trial field is really cool winning trophies but it is NOT reality. Keep up the good work you do. Too many trainers sanitize how brutal a real man vs dog fight is! Peace
I have a imported euro Doberman who is now almost two. I’m curious if he has the potential to be a (family protection dog). He has good prey drive , food drive and great socialization skills. Is there any potential there?
@@GlassOfJuicee 🙀 thanks! One of my family members has a Belgian who is out of control and tells me I raised my dober to be too nice. 😶 but funny thing is I have more control over my dog than he does
First and foremost you should consider the the Hip grading history (and possibly even the elbows) of her lines in my opinion that should be the most important factor when deciding whether to breed her, also making sure before you do that her hips have a passing grade by whatever grading system is used in your country regarding hip displasia... this is obviously temperament focused but still i think whenever talking about breeding especially with breeds prone to these sorts of things its never a bad thing that these factors are brought up, especially when hes talking about genetics so much.
In older videos he has talked about this already, this is one based on the dogs personality and how well it does environmentally. So this is basically a Part II, also this testing is also used for Service dogs as well since his puppies were mostly sold for service/protection/Arson/Detection/Police work etc. But I can see why you said to include that in the video bc it is needed for a lot of new people to the channel as well as people looking for dogs, new to training, etc. So thank you for saying this, much appreciated.
@@bruh-ItsTokyo Yeah it wasn't really a huge criticism, like i acknowledged that the video was really temperament focused, and i understand that his dogs are used in many different fields security, detection etc, and this was the focus of the video. I was involved in the German Shepherd world in my country for a really long time and the importance of sending people to proper breeders who have all properly vetted their dogs hips is paramount and like you said its just sort of a thing for people new to this channel or those who might have stumbled across the video, i have no doubt its been brought up in past videos as an incredibly important factor its just a thing with me whenever breeding is brought up certain things just need to be reiterated even if they're not the focus of the video just for those that don't know this stuff, like a 5 to 10 seconds saying once the hips are checked and passed then we can evaluate the dog for etc etc... but thanks for engaging and the content!!!
I think the dog is pretty good and it is a female it’s hard to get a really tough strong working female Also I don’t think you actually spoke about health and having her hips and elbows OFA’d at two ? I do like her she’s a nice little compact strong girl
The German shepherd I used to have when I started to take place with me she didn't care about people in the room moving around and inside of me she liy down on the floor in my car 🚗 she would walk up to someone to see what si now how do you spell you and then come back to my right side and then watch you every lost
Can you maybe one time do a tour of your kennel? That would be really interesting to see!
yes!!! Great Idea!
This is a great evaluation video. Would love to see an evaluation of another that you think would be a great dog which would be used for breeding.
Was thinking the same thing ^_^
I love this channel. I am only interested in pet/companion dogs, but this knowledge helps understand the big picture. Thanks

Thanks for giving us your insights! Super valuable to see your thought process here

Dog is a little more than a family protection dog ,
She's fantastic! It's hard not to like her, but would I be the right owner for her? Nope! She'd climb the walls an we'd both be miserable 😆
I personally thought the dog was pretty good , but I believe your a outstanding trainer and breeder. Im Definitely Locked in on your channel !
Love your channel. Good info
She is very beautiful
I think your so on point best trainer out there

Surely the male you breed her with as a say on all your questions as well, it take 2 to tango?
all I got is amazing knowledge!

Breed on genetics ,not training 👍
Great video!
sir Hanz, whats the apron for?
Could you not socialise them on surfaces when they're young? Or do you not want to to test for breeding?
Thanks for sharing

You are SOF of dog breeding. I enjoy and have learned a shit ton from your content.
Was that the first time the dog bit a sleeve?
Excellent video....
I totally get you I sold a female then cried about it she was just what you are describing the one still sad I let her go .
Well, you threw the ball away. You obviously didn't want it :-)
I like everything minus the energy. I’m cool with energy but not as much as she has. That’s a bit much for me and my family. Other than that great dog
do you do these tests when they are still young and untrained?

If it’s free I’ll take it. I can pick it up too.
None of his dogs are free, it's funny that you thought that. He is a professional and a business man, not a backyard breeder.
