Very handsome dog. I understand that they are some of the best guard dogs around.

Generally considered the best all around/most versatile breed in the world.

That reputation took a hit due to popularity, backyard breeding and AKC ridiculous show standards. Just getting a German Shepherd may not be any better than an average breed but when you get the old world European working lines you will be amazed.

Temperament Focus



The focus on temperament is apparent in the German bloodlines. The dogs must posses the ability to be true working dogs before breeding can take place. In America the dogs are bred randomly based solely on the titles they achieve in the conformation ring. The dog is not required to have the temperament that history dictates the German shepherd should have. This lapse in taking the dog's mentality into consideration has made the American bloodlines weak in temperament and produced dogs that are unable to perform as police dogs, guard dogs and working dogs.

The German shepherd dog bloodlines in America barely resemble the German shepherd dog bloodlines of Germany. The two differ dramatically in both temperament and appearance. The German breeders have focused on retaining the dog breed's working ability combined with outstanding looks. They focus on maintaining the physical capabilities of the dogs, but the American breeders focus more on what the dog's outward appearance for the show ring reflects and they do not take into consideration the breed's function as a working dog.

Fight Drive



The German line has managed to maintain the "fight drive" of the German shepherd through selective breeding for the trait. Fight drive is inherited. It is an instinct that the dog has to step out and take on whatever the dog comes face-to-face with. The dog will not show fear. No amount of training will ever instill the genetic fight drive of a true German shepherd. The American line has lost this drive. The dogs often exhibit a drive that is fueled by fear instead of the working ability that the German lines focus on. This has made it difficult and almost impossible for many American lines to seriously compete in Schutzhund against dogs from the German line.


Physical Differences



The American German shepherd looks dramatically different from a German line German shepherd. The angulation of the hips of the American dog are extreme. The dogs' overall movement is seriously affected to the point that many dogs would be unable to perform the same endurance tests that a German line dog would have no problem completing, such as scaling a wall. The American dogs are finer-boned with a much narrower head. The ears are softer and more rounded.

Gunther is an amazing puppy!
At this stage of the game with his high prey drive and high activity level he's like trying to put a tornado in your pocket. LOL
I eventually get him worn down. I have the motto, "I will win".

Thanks for coralling my little tasmanian tornado while I am gone. LOL.

Jinopo kennel is the main dudes fro zPS. They also have a facility in Arizona ran by Hans.

Yeph they are the ones. My friend used to work with Mr. Novotny back in Czech Republic and they are real good friends. He still goes back home ones a year and he still keeps in touch with them. He got the male first and months later the female. Top notch blood line. I heard nothing but good things about Mr. Novotny.

[Burntorange Bowhunter]

That's awesome.

Gunthers great grandam is Ginta Z Pohranicni Straze. He has "top notch" bloodlines on the top and bottom of dam and sire. Some of the best dogs produced in the States from DDR/Czech lineage came from Iltis V Wildsau and Ginta.........like Gunther did on his dams side.
