Not everithing is Pink and sweet😂 he was born but first and aspirated, i was cleaning and warming the one before him and he came half way out, had to gently pull him and i was in red flag mode, no movement white tongue and gums😵‍💫 took me a bit of time shaking him up and down with the swing mode, using the aspiration and rubbing him with his head going downward while cleaning his nose and mouth, finally reacted and took his first air breath!!!😂😂😂yess, once they do that i know i have him on my safe side!!!❤️❤️

Yes… there are still clear differences between the working lines and show lines, and at times certain groups tend to hold a very one-track perspective, hesitant to embrace the strengths of both sides. From our side, we speak simply from many decades of personal experience with both — and we value the beauty, versatility, and purpose that each can contribute when bred with heart and integrity.”

It’s important to remember that not everyone seeks a German Shepherd for the purpose of trials or earning titles. While that’s a wonderful thing !!

And yes, to the working line purity groups…You are absolutely right about the true essence of the working dog — purpose, not cosmetics, should always come first. But sadly, the reality today is that too many are driven by market trends, aesthetics, and quick sales.

At the same time, we must also recognize that not everyone wants a dog for trials or titles — many families seek stable, versatile German Shepherds capable of excelling in everyday life, service roles, emotional support, and personal protection. That versatility is what truly makes this breed shine. A sound mind, balanced drives, and correct structure serve every purpose, whether it’s on the sport field or lying calmly by a child’s side.

Preserving this balance — breeding for true ability and correct temperament first, with respect to the breed’s heritage — is the responsibility of ethical breeders. It’s a challenge, yes — but an essential one if we want the GSD to remain the extraordinary, multi-faceted dog it was meant to be.”
