Gsd lovers, opinion on this male sable colored working line gsd.

The head structure, snout, coat colour (not the usual Black and Tan with a mask), the short croup. Need ratings.

Working line is not a term you throw around loosely tho. Especially for non-pedigree dogs.

Hmm true that.

But any dog born in Nigeria is a non pedigree dog

We can only judge based on pedigree details provided

I saw the details of the mother, I think ipo1 or so was in front of her parents name. it’s like a title of what they have to do to accept her as a working line.

False, being a pedigree dog is not a function of where the dog was born.

Mother to this dog an IPO1 dog ? I highly doubt sir. I do not even mean to sound rude or insulting, the dog doesn’t look purebred. But it might just be the angle of the picture that’s deceiving. Perhaps you can share some other photos? That would help a lot.

You are right sir. But I do think pedigree dogs are registered with a kennel club which we do not have here sir. But most breeders brag about pedigree dogs based on the ones they import from Serbia and Russia like cephas and the rest top breeders. I am getting a long coat showline soon, I wan billed 400k for the female. But I noticed they never tag the puppy a pedigree, but they say pedigree and papered parents.

Never said his mother. His grand mother, and what’s an ipo1? Might be ignorant on that.

IPO also known as Shutzhund, is a dog sport created for the Gsd. The sport was created to test the breed sustainability for service work in the early days. It has three stages 1,2,3. So it means the acclaimed mother or grand mother of your dog went through the first stage.
