DDR German Shepherd Dogs :: Information East German Shepherds originate from the Deutsche Demokratische Republik or "DDR" (1949-1990). Generations of true "DDR" bloodlines are limited to a span of about, forty years of breeding in the former East Germany. DDR dogs have a strong, solid, lean, muscula...
PASTORES ALEMANES DDR Y SUS LINEAS
----------------
No hace falta decir que los pastores alemanes DDR son, de lejos, los reyes del pastor alemán tradicional: más sanos, longevos, fuerte, mejor cabeza, hueso, mas adiestrables, estables y predispuestos para la familia y labores de protección.
Lo que no es muy conocido es que existen 14 líneas diferentes de perros DDR. Tengamos en cuenta que su desarrollo se hizo siguiendo, al pie de la letra, las instrucciones que los directores de cría de Alemania Oriental impartieron durante años. Y estos caballeros no se guiaron más por un sentido común: si tenemos algunos perros que son "A1 0 normal" pues criemos con ellos (prohibido criar con a2 o a3). Y si queremos que sean estables y sólidos de carácter pues criemos con los más sólidos y estables (no con los llamativos, bonitos, o propiedad del presidente, juez o de los amigos de turno). Habrán sus fallas también en este sistema me digo. Pero es lo que es, y es lo que nos han legado los actores y su historia.
Aquí las 14 líneas originales del Perro Pastor Alemán DDR.

La lista viene de http://www.ddr-k9.com/zuchtlinie.html que contiene MUCHA más información al respecto. Y es parte de un análisis adicional hecho en http://shepherdsgerman.com/old-ddr-german-shepherd-dogs
Aquí la lista completa de los Siegers DDR de 1948 hasta 1989 (tiempo que duró vigente la República Democrática Alemana, o la alemania comunista como también la conocemos): http://www.ddrlegends.com/ddrsieger.html Acá la historia de la partición de las alemanias y como afectó al perro pastor alemán: http://johnsddr.webs.com/deutscherepublikmap.htm
Aquí se puede ver el SISTEMA DE EVALUACION que se tenía para los perros DDR. Estrictas tablas y valoraciones que dejaban poco a la subjetividad del juez (o por lo menos se la ponían más dificil). http://johnsddr.webs.com/ddrbloodlineinfo.htm Aca: estadísticas de producción de los machos utilizados en la DDR: http://johnsddr.webs.com/ddrbloodlineinfo2.htm (téngase en cuenta que todo estaba controlado por el gobierno, de modo que... no es yo tengo mi hembra y la quiero cruzar con el macho que a mi me gusta o el de mi amigo o vecino... no señor... para bien y para mal... había que OBEDECER al director de cría y punto. Era un régimen verdaderamente comunista donde, utopía irreal, todo es de todos y nada es de nadie... y nuevamente me escaparé de esta parte del tema porque se pueden escribir libros sobre como fueron esos años de la guerra fría, etc.).
Y si alguien desea ver anatomía, características, y más información... aqui hay muchos perros DDR que pueden "dar la hora" en cualquier actividad humana. http://www.ddrlegends.com/gallery2/v/DDR+Dogs/ Si, también son superiores en "estructura, belleza, show, trote", etc. porque trotaban, normal, en todos los eventos, una hora completa. Esas eran las reglas y costumbres en una Alemania donde las instrucciones no se discutían. Para bien o para mal; Pero ese verso lo dejamos para mejor ocasión!
Por último dice en uno de sus artículos que todos los Pastores Alemanes Checos de nacimiento (fueron, en su orígen, perros DDR).

This shows one of the reasons we don’t use head halters.
The next time you’re in your dog’s mouth (you do brush his or her teeth, right?) notice the bump on the roof of his mouth just behind the two front middle teeth? It’s called the ‘incisive papilla,” and near the center of it is a hole that leads to a duct that leads to the “Jacobson’s organ.” The Jacobson’s organ is a very cool thing. Put in “See Spot Run” terms, it allows your dog to literally taste the air by combining taste and smell.
Dogs use their Jacobson’s organ to experience sexual markers (pheromones) left behind by other dogs via urine, or when coming across the scent of a bitch in season. While dogs don’t have a Flehmen response seen in many other animals (throwing back the head, and raising or curling the upper lip which helps open the entry slits into Jacobson’s Organ), dogs will “chatter their teeth” instead. A dog might hold his mouth in a quasi-open position that looks a little like a grin, or he might even lick the air. And you thought he was just happy to see you.
One theory holds that the Jacobson’s Organ could account for a dog’s ability to identify and recognize other animals and people. It’s also believed that it’s this organ that enhances a newborn’s ability to find its mother.

Let's Talk About... the Prong Collar. Facts, not emotions:
The prong, or pinch, collar was first patented by Herm Sprenger in the late 1800s, and the design has evolved over the decades with improved knowledge, experience, and materials. It should be noted that Herm Sprenger (*not* "Springer") are one of only a very small handful of prong collar manufacturers that reputable trainers recommend, and arguably the best.
The collar itself:
The individual prongs themselves are angled in and blunt at the ends, NEVER sharp. They are not designed to stab like a needle, or injure the dog. Due to the mechanical design, pressure is distributed evenly around the neck, and this pressure is felt far more readily than that of a choke/check chain, or flat collar. Ergo, less pressure is required to be used by the handler. This is particularly useful for handlers who have strength or mobility issues, or who have very large dogs. Also important to observe is that there is a martingale chain that connects each side of the collar, which prevents the collar from tightening excessively or dangerously, as can happen with a choke or check chain that is not used appropriately.
The mechanics of the collar, as explained by a mechanical engineer:
F = force applied by the handler.
FA, FB, FC etc = force applied on dog's neck. The tip exerts the force in opposite direction of pull. This is because of the lever effect created by the fulcrum (shown in the red circle).
Now the important part: anatomy, not physics.
A dog’s neck is sensitive at the throat and strong at the side and back. FE is force applied at neck and FB & FC are force applied on side of neck.
Now FA = F cos (angle made by FA and F); similarly, FB, FC etc. If you look at a trigonometry book, the greater the angle between F and the direction of resultant force (FA, FB etc), the lesser is the force. So you can see the force on the neck/throat is almost zero. And the force on the side of neck is almost equal to what you apply.
Please do bear in mind that this post is about the science behind the prong collar - not your *feelings*. If you don't like this particular tool, it's pretty simple: don't use it. But also bear in mind that, if you haven't ever used it, then your opinion of it is based on nothing more than emotion and/or hearsay. If you are triggered by this post, ask yourself why - based on *fact* 🙂
And finally, always please remember: TOOLS DON'T TRAIN DOGS; TRAINING TRAINS DOGS! If your trainer puts one of these on your dog to "teach it to walk nicely to Heel", I would suggest firing them and finding a trainer who understands how to teach Handler Awareness, the Step Sit, and actually train the dog. If your dog will only walk to Heel when it is wearing equipment (of any kind), it's not trained 🙂
Thank you for reading
As your dog retrieves the first...second...third...maybe fifth or sixth ball, his muscles start to tire and soon they reach overload, where they no longer can fully control and support your dog's movements. Now, when your dog does those amazing athletic maneuvers to snag the ball, soft tissues like the cranial cruciate ligament, iliopsoas muscle and tendon, and the muscles and ligaments that support the vertebrae are overstretching. Minor tears are occurring. Now the ball is thrown 10, 12 times or more and ultimately your dog lies down, exhausted.
That period between when your dog's muscles are in overload, and when your dog lies down exhausted, is the injury zone (Figure 1). But remember, with all that adrenaline, your dog doesn't feel the injuries happening, so you have no idea that the tissues are being used beyond their capacity.
When this game is repeated day after day, month after month, the small tissue tears become large ones, and suddenly it becomes evident that your dog is in pain and has an injury. Of course, it hasn't been sudden at all-what seemed sudden is just the final result of repeated stress and strain until the tissues gave way.

Discovering Your Dog
Out with a few of my dogs and puppies this morning. 97° today. They appreciated the dunk in the river to cool off. I packed up 7. 2 males and 5 females. It was very enjoyable.

When on peruses different dog breed sites and literature, it is not unusual to come across something called “formula breeding.” Formula breeding is nothing more than a specific “formula” of line breeding in which a particular relative or set of relatives is held in common by both the sire and dam.
These are the “recipes” to set a line.
In dogs, the best known formula is called Brackett’s Formula. It is not particularly complicated. It is named after pioneering German shepherd dog breeder Lloyd Brackett. He started his own Long-Worth strain in 1912, when the breed was in its infancy in North America.
His formula for breeding best be described as “Let the sire of the sire become the grandsire on the dam’s side.”
Over time, the alleles become concentrated within a line, making it distinct.
That is the Brackett’s formula in a nutshell.
