I am glad the litter has gone down from being advertised at £600 to £500 but I still think it is alot , especially from someone who has claimed that NIDs are too unhealthy to breed from NID to NID, why risk health of future puppies breeding to a GSD

I also noticed her friend is planning a ni x gsd litter in the spring using the same stud....thats really stepping out of the box and increasing the genes

Why dont you both approach her directly with your concerns?

Using a dog twice is hardly the same as using it hundreds of times is it?

Thanks for the free advertsing though. They are a really cracking litter.

I have a a GSD x NI, and he really is a beautiful boy, I seen this litter advertised too, not that i'm thinking of getting another (yet), but a good friend mine of mine is seriously considering it. However, these pups all look very german shepherd and a bit far away!

Indeed your boy is gorgeous Littlewolf, he reminds me so much (in looks) of the long coated NIDs and Utes xxxxxxxxxxxx

Lunakitty , I read somewhere that this GSD stud was crossed with a Ute is the past, I wonder what happened to that litter and if it was planned to increase their gene pool or just a one off litter for the sake of it.

You are welcome ref the advertsing, I am sure

If you do not mind answering, how does this litter and 'other' planned litters of NIDs x with this same GSD stud, benefit the dogs? or does it not?

From what I can gather, people's main concern with these types of dogs is health, and as this litter's parents are apparently health tested - what's the problem?

I was wondering this too....why this cross :? ?

I'm afraid the main motivation for this is ££££.

Thats a lot of money for a crossbreed!
Littlewolf your dog is totaly lovely, but for anyone wanting a crossbreed I would recomend a rescue

I agree...my pure bred husky was only $250.

Exactly , i agree, folks seem to get angered on here when these threads get started.

What about your cross breed?

I haven't got time to copy and paste everything thats been said before and it seems pointless going over old ground as you are not really interested, just trying to cause trouble, but if you have genuinely forgotten the reasoning behind our breeding programme I suggest you read our websites again.

You, of all people Nes, should be keen to see the gene pool expanded to prevent health issues.

The reason why our 'crossbreeds' are more expensive than any other run of the mill crossbreed is that we are using proven, quality, health tested stock - not just any old dog that happens to be in the vicinity, which is what happened far too often in the past and caused the problems we have in the NI today.

My cat was $90 from a rescue ;-)

Thats not a bad price bet the dog was a bit more though eh?

I don't have another cross breed, but I think we all know you disagree with that. Of course Lupa was more expensive...currency rates suck these days since my country is pretty pathetic. And she was flown to me....more expensive then a legitimate wolfdog or wolf hybrid would have been, and less convienent seeing as I can get a wolfdog just about anywhere, not to mention the more expensive Tamaskans that I could have purchased out here. But she's really priceless to me. And I plan to do it again unless someone starts breeding out here.

Im sure there will be people here only too willing to accommodate you.

Sandra, it is a question of trust. One minute the wolf dog cross is the way forward, all of a sudden it is the GSD, which you had once said was a step back, but I do not expect you to admit to that. I hope that the intentions are good, time will tell.
