Anyone who want to breed and accept GSDs that are only 50/50 mentally and physically fit should not breed GSD at all. If the parents are 50/50 both mentally and physicallly fit then the outcome of the puppies will be "tengah masak'. Don't misled others by saying "tengah masak" is good. If someone is not breeding for money and do not have a competition winning sire and dam then what are their intentions of the breeding?
The Chinese are willing to pay high price for the GSDs because they know the qualities they are getting. They believe the good dogs they bought can and will produce something better. They will not pay high price for 3 months old puppies if they are not confident of the dogs and their parents. Of course they did their homework in checking the parents bloodline and they usually have some very strong schutzhund background.
The Malaysian Police is not only one buying fr China, the custom and the prison dept are also buying. Anyone have any doubts one the police dogs can always checkout their dogs. Of course the police, custom and prison bought dogs fr Germany and UK as well but beside qualities they also look at the price as well. These dogs can never misled anyone because their schutzhund bloodline are very strong and they are always money back guarantee. By the way, only a handful of breeders in Malaysia can do this.
The other European countries are fast catching up with Germany with their dogs qualities because their are doing what the German are practicing all along but the German are still one step ahead.
Before anyone consider breeding their GSD, he must honestly ask himself a few questions.
1. Can the puppies be better than the parents? Is the dogs fit for breeding?
2. Can the dog perform what the breed suppose to do? GSDs are basically breed for protection, guard and herding.
3. What are intentions for the breeding?
Anyone who do not have competitions winning sire and dam must not breed their dog. You can never assure anyone of the puppies qualities if the sire and dam don't have these qualities. Don't misled others by saying the competition for the male is tough and unfair because only a kiasu will say this thing. Only a judge can tell if your dog is good enough and not you.
Remember dogs breeding are purely genetic although miracle do rarely happened. We are resposible of what we have created and please do not pass the risk to others. The GSD indeed is a wonderful breed and please do not kill it.
Hi Jesstin,
Alright, I going to try my best not to turn this into a debate of age long senseless showline and working line issues. firstly, let me ask you a simple questions and in no way i am trying to belittle you.
Do you sincerely believe a dog only need to be mentally fit 100% but the look can be 0%??
Do you know anything about breeding to improve standard? It is not as simple as using a sch 3 males and sch3 females and you get what you want 100% of the time??
Ok, now to answer some of you posts. Every countries is the same as China, because we only pay high prices for what we like it is just that they have bigger spending power now compare to Malaysian. I know you keep saying that only working line managed to go to wusv in Germany and I am proud of them too but are you the one? Workingline is a lot of hardwork and training then you can participate in wusv. But showline is a confirmation show. No matter how many hardwork you put in, confirmation is still first unlike working line. That is why we keep buying germany imports to boost the level here. This is the reason why but I assure we are definetely aiming to send a dog there for top honors and no loss face for Malaysian.
Lastly for you info, we managed to set up a Gsd club in Malaysia that is afflliated to Mka just recently. There is planning to invite judges, show learning abroad, sending a msian bred dog abroad and etc. there will be collaboration with working line ppl by working towards a sound show dogs in training together and all. See, we are trying our best to improve the breed and also bring more new blood in, so what about you? Any initiative? As for breeding NON winning dogs, I agreed with you. But Look into the few previous MKA Berita Anjing and you will see me and my dogs pics. I think I posted here too. Dont be offended or anything afterall this is a forum for sharing.
P:S: As for the Kiasu comment on males competition, I will explain on that later. that is a even more interesting topics. Stay Tuned.
