Meet Zara, I got her late December, initially I paid for two slants but I got a showline and a workline , the WL which happens to be zara. She is east German pedigree, At first i wondered why she's thicker than the male who looks like a traditional slantback/showline, I had to research, until I saw her semblance to a ddr. She was an expensive buy too, I spent 300k to purchase her plus finder's fee.

This is the puppy picture I saw on a breeder's website that made me conclude Zara is a DDR gsd.

Am I right?

Her recent picture, she's 13 weeks now.

P.s: her color is black and tan, my phone camera reddens her tan

Dope puppy bro!!!! I got one too, showline... his name is Cliff, 10weeks old

Everybody don dey upgrade dey buy showline, I go soon join una

Pretty pup you got there. How is his temperament? My showline is less agile, he's west European, his coat is red and black not tan. Zara is much more agile, she's acts like the alpha.

Meet Kane, he's 7 weeks old here.

How is it that you don’t know if your dog is DDR or not, it may have more black now but will grow, if truly you bought at 300k, then they should be pedigree, you didn’t check the pedigree details?

Confirm so that you don’t call your dog what it is not

Yh you are correct, but my bro who helped buy it assured me it's pedigree, he called her a straight back gsd, I'm only getting to know the difference since I researched.

You paid full dough before you started your research?
I hope you're purchasing for personal and not business interests.

He called??

A puppy worth 300k should have good pedigree details regardless of the breed. Nice puppy you got btw

Yes I'm purchasing for personal interest, I'm no breeder but I also don't wanna buy a mutt.

Yes I paid that much for the workline, the showline (Kane) was 400k but no pedigree details, I only know the sire and dam were imported from Russia, I know it still doesn't mean anything if I don't have raw papers to prove it's pedigree.

Prople tend to give power to pedegree papers, those with keen eyes for dogs don't need to see papers to know the quality of what they're getting..

Pedigree is important for you to compete world wide. It is also not just a thing of status. Pedigree enables you know how a dog was bred, take for instance, this op bought a dog and because his dog looks like some DDR online, he assumed its a DDR, a DDR cannot be identified just by look, a DDR can only be a DDR if it comes from a lineage of DDR, The acronym is not just used to hype a dog, the acronym is to state that a particular dog originates from Deutsche Demokratische Republik. And how can you know that? Through the dogs Pedigree history

Yes you are correct but there are instances where the dog has no pedigree details but physical appearance and features can lead one toward knowing it's right line (that's if you know what you are looking for). The issue isn't if it is pure or not, i have called for the sire and dam's papers btw.

From my research,

she's DDR, she can't be Czech WL, although similar. She isn't.
she can never ever be West German WL pedigree. Their structures are physically different.

My reason for posting on here wasn't to get criticized, I just want more observations from nairalanders. I can't mate Kane and Zara together, mating a SL and WL is a no no for me, First generations SL-WL mixes is usually a hit and miss as thus never come out well structure wise.

I understand ur point very well sir, it's infact important for a breeder buying a ped or a bloodline to see d papers, other than business y disturb urself? I'm sure half the pple always asking about ped papers won't even recognise a fake paper but yet, with ur experience I'm sure you know there are bloodlines of 3-4 generations that came out better than the real deal, having or seeing the papers is important if you intend to use for business, but at the same time it dosnt gurantee anything, about a decade ago myself n a friend went to get his first dog, a security dog from a reputable breeder, an almost-matured male dog for stud, we saw the papers of the parents, dat rott was d oddest rott I've seen, d dog was a freaking shy dog even at maturity, always hiding.. d guy wanted a ped or blood line because then our believe was dog lik dat would b maaaaaad, n he got a sheep in a rott's skin. If u see what u like go for it if u can, no b by papers, na only u need d papers, if u get visitors n dey admire ur dog they wont ask to see d papers even if u told them its a ped.. e no pass compliments, just like our education in naija, if u say u didnt further after secondary school you will be tagged illiterate for life, but tell dem u studied this, you served already, still job searching, weatin u go hear na Just Keep praying n leave the rest to God, at least you don try because no b everybody go school, no worry God go do am.. nobody cares to have a copy of ur cv to help forward... u get my point?

What if I post a pup that is a mixture of both DDR and Czech, how would you tell that is a mixture of both? You can’t tell a dog origin by looks alone. That is just my point.

And I am sorry I am not criticizing you, I am just giving my observation that you should not be quick to call your pup a DDR, you can say a working line, but since you are not sure, it’s best you just confirm.

And my previous comment was to that other guy. You have wonderful pups and there is high possibility that they are actually from pedigree parents, and you don’t need a paper for that. All that is needed is to confirm the parents pedigree so as to ascertain the line.

Super pups, the only reason why am talking more on the issue is that am a Gsd fancier too like you.

Also note that a dog can be registered in the pedigree database, registered online

Yes you are correct, I wouldn't know if she's a czech/DDR mix, but damn! worklines are fun to own, I see my self fancying Zara much more than kane.. he's too damn reserved. once I get the pedigree details, I'll update you guys.

About the ped registration, are you saying Kane and Zara can be registered online?

This is Kane now, he's 12 weeks, Zara is a week older than he is.

If both parents are peds, contact your breeder for assistance, as you need the breeders permission to

Okay, hope the registration process isn't tideous, I mean like DNA test and the rest?

It’s funny how the op understood my point, but a lowlife who has no connection with the issue had to come out to bark like an under fed dog.

Kindly quote me when I said the dog is not a ddr.
Advising someone who spent good money to buy a good dog to meet the breeder to confirm its lineage is bad?

I do not want to exchange words with you

Bros ignore that comment, he didnt make one valid point, nairaland is home to more negative souls, I'm lik 200% sure that person wouldnt know the difference between a workingline gsd and a cauc/gsd cross.. u pass that level abeg

I will like to follow up on your boy as a stud as I am in Lagos too.

Do you mind sharing a pic of him standing?
