Breedia Dog Forum
Yes, I agree it does and this type of dog is typical of the many regional landrace shepherding breeds of continental Europe. There was variation in...
Johan's link does show one of the founder type shepherd dogs. There is a website with photos of the modern day shepherd dogs that are said to be...
Hi Amon. One has to ask, correct for what? The landrace dogs from which the breed was founded had very different construction to the show dogs of...
Do you think this is because of breeding or training ie are there specific lines that are generally better at either working or trialing? Or is that...
It's normal for there to be different opinions on type within breeds, and all this information is very interesting, but hardly relevant to the...
Tuuli, my point in referring to standards is to illustrate that they are, though based on historical writings, tailored in most cases, for the...
Yes, based on. The point is Tuuli, that there are many show type Siberians, that are considered to be correct according to the standard, but are...
Yes, some are written by people other than show goers. The fact that there are different types, and even within the show world, different types,...

Ok, I can see that there have been problems. I do wish you well with this breed but I do think my earlier suggestion of getting someone with...
I don't understand what you are saying in your last post Carrara but surely it would be for the benefit of the breed if dogs had been x-rayed and...
Carrara, it's very simple to calculate the mean score, you don't need the BVA to do it. Does the club have a health co-ordinator or anyone...
Hip evaluatioin by x-ray has been in existence since 1960 for GSDs and since 1965 for all breeds. Although the severity of the evaluation method...
Yes I am interested in the breed, particulary because of the premise that the phenotype is based on a likeness of the wolf. I think this a very good...
Hi Nadia. I believe it is possibly to have any dog hip scored, pedigree or otherwise. Failing this, a vet experience in hip x-ray would have been...
Ramoth, could you say what the club is doing to control health problems. Is the Code of Ethics online anywhere?
Hi Ramoth, welcome to Dogsey. You're right in that all breeds have their health problems and breeders who pay little attention to breeding for the...
