Isn’t Bea showlines?
Hi @TCE, yes she is but she gained her IPG last year, we moved out of showing some time ago, and all, except Uma as she is retired, now either have or are trainng for IPG qualifications.

I’m not sure I understand that fully Wally.
Bailey and Valli are showlines as they all are, but neither have been shown for years and qualified Therapy dogs that doesn’t making them working lines or does it?
Hi Ray, It was my terminology mate, so my mistake, Bea came from full show lines but is now a working dog (not lines), Uma came from part working/part show lines, but is retired from everything, Zeek, is full working line, Jaxx and Kizzie are Zeeks daughters and are 50% working lines (we used Uma and Bea respectfully as 'mums') . However what I was trying, badly, to put across is they are working dogs (not lines per se), except Zeek who is 100% working lines. Hope that makes a bit more sense. So in Bailey and Valli yes they are working dogs from show lines. It does get confusing don't it!!! LOL

It gets confusing when a really old bloke is trying to explain it to an idiot (me) 😉
Here, talking of showing. I put a photo of Valli in an online show on twitter and she got BIS, the gentleman running it, a vicar got dms of abuse saying he was biased. Lol People wonder why I don’t show my dogs ffs

Showing of GSD's, in the main, is full of larger kennels who get the 'hump' if they don't win, as you know we are small breeders by comparison, and we had some bloody good dogs, but unless there was a 'face' on the end of the lead we were overlooked. Although both Jed and Cinna did win a champ show each. We got out because its too political....on the working side dogs either get points for doing something or they dont of they 'screw up', showing is too subjective...I hated it. Bunch of pre-Madonnas.

I’d love a Berniedoodle 😍

But, non.....
This breed emerged in England in the mid 18th century.....
The pup is gorgeous with pale china blue eyes.
Fabulous - beautiful dogs.
