My new mission: BREEDING BACKWARDS within ADRK lines.
For the longest time I have been obsessing over certain ADRK lines that have disappeared, at a great cost to the Rottweiler breed.
We all know as fact, that many males in Germany over the decades, were used up to 80% more as sires than other males – (other males who were seriously under used and underrated – yet who possessed exceptional traits, and more importantly possessed diverse and solid bloodlines)
The ADRK has always attempted to encourage diversity in breeding and bloodlines – but real life is a little different.
ADRK breeders are trying really hard to save lines, but those of us outside Germany must do the same. *for the breed.
The cost of ignoring, under using and limiting certain lines/stud males for decades has been huge. (It IS huge)
With the limited use of some exceptional males – outstanding traits were lost, supreme genetics removed from the genepool and our breed started suffering: in health, in type and in temperament.
Breeders (ADRK and FCI) have attempted to save certain lines, genetics and traits over the years – and so many ADRK breeders specifically have managed to perform “miracles” in preserving what is left of the “less popular” ADRK bloodlines.
I obsess over health and genetics (it is what I do and who I am – and many buyers/people new to the breed don’t understand that breeding is NOT an exact science, and that yes, some combinations just don’t work and there may be a hidden health issue or genetic illness for which there is no screening available – but it’s what we do: we are breeders not gods or magicians)
My health obsession is well documented, my obsession with “breeding backwards” in an attempt to resurrect lines that are almost “GONE” is less documented.
I am committed to tracking down old lines, disappearing lines and focusing on preserving them in my kennel, where I can.
