Dave van Garderen who the previous two years conducted working dog seminars at HWA 2009 and 2010 won the Dvg nationals Sch 3 and represented the USA this last week in Germany.he came in 19 th out of over 50 competitors all scores 90 or above.Notice once again almost all the dogs are Dutch Belgian origin. Strong showing for the mix breeds. I was a bit surprised Daves dog sure looks like a Mal but classified as mix www.dvg-s-h.de/BSP/ergebnisse.htm |

I'll wager in this case "mischling" simply means ineligible for FCI registration
the dogs in question may have had like one dutch great grandam or something; but every animal on that list is the product of inbreeding enhancement

You know this has me puzzled.
Dave's dog known as Stuart looks like a Mal and has been bred to same. He throws a very tough serious get and yeah the temperament is like a lot of Dutchies I've seen. When he gets back we'll have an answer.
Starting to pick up the pace with Kasbah,she remains the only non Mal in the club!
So far so good, very strong prey drive.
Hope to take a shot at PSA1 with Brisco but a lot of unlearning of VPG first.

Until right now, I'd never even considered the genetic potential of PSA. Thinking about what could be sends a great big thrill WAY up my leg.  Clinically speaking, PSA = a landrace, and each club represents a distinct strain (local adaptation). Inter-club linebreeding would easily generate rapid improvement (leaps and bounds.) It's as simple as not trading studs back & forth between clubs (population isolation). In other words the club that targets it's very best dog becomes a bloodline real quick. almost like a "co-op" of sorts very exciting stuff! |
