first started breeding and I was going to get dogs and like it's a very common in the Belgian ring to where the breeders would be like like I would look at a female that they just bred and she just she doesn't she has no interest to bite even

but they will say, well, she's excellent mother and her bloodline is what we are after.

What, how do you guys, what do you, do you ever consider female like this in the program or, you know?

And caring for the puppies, right?

And the genetic pool, the number of dogs, they just start to get so narrow and it's this one, no matter how good it is, eventually the good starts to become weak and erotic because there is nothing new coming in, nothing strong to keep it fresh.

Do you have...

access to like let's say you know once the dog goes into the army and are you following up and can you use these dogs that are already out there

to make this going going on and make it better yeah what do you think of the more broad picture of the german shepherd world um is the breeding overall improving is it staying the same or compared to like

let's say 15 years ago or 20 years ago, where is the German Shepherd in the world today?

If you give two of the main concerns that you would always watch, like, okay, I see a good German Shepherd.

What would be the two things that you want to really make sure that they have or they can do in order for you to say, okay, these boxes have to be checked?

Just to give it a chance.

Maybe you're wrong.

Even when you're on a bad mood, the dog makes you happy just looking at him.

They had the heart.

That's not easy in the civilian world.

Just as you said, you have to sell the puppies.

Like I'm fortunate enough that I've done it long enough.

You can do it.

I have people waiting for puppies all the time, like a long list for people waiting.
