To know if its ok to cross them

personally I don't like it because it affects the rear angulation in pups some may be straight, some slant, some semislant(i think Nigerians invented that) and some I just don't know. it will not always turn out like that but I see no reason for a cross between straight and slant.

Paublo i see ur point. But the straight is way too intelligent and active while the slant is quiet and not as intelligent as the straight.

Othello92 I see yur point too normally a straight back is a working line with lot of energy and drive plus intelligence but a slant back GSD is show line they are not as active or have the high energy and drive of the working line but they are equally intelligent just that one performs better than the other in the ring while the other carry out tasks better. but they're are a lot of things to put into consideration like health, conformation, movement etc how will your experiment affect the health(hips) of the pups, how will the hips look like at least there are standards for GSD will the pup meet the required standard? and how will it affect the movement of the pup cos I have seen a GSD that has really bad hips and the movement was awkward. before breeding try to put a lot into consideration yu breed to improve not to reduce or deform truth is a slant back can never ever be as active as a straight back so yu either get a good straight back female to mate with the male or look for a good slant back male with higher energy than Yurs to mate with her and as for being intelligent both are intelligent.

Pablo i'm thankful.

yu are welcome sir
