Although recognised by the Czech KC they are not by the UK KC, so thought I had better put the thread here rather than Pastoral where they should belong. I have been waiting since May the last time I went to Germany, finaly got the news I have been waiting for, two females, pre xrayed, rabies vacs, titre levels fine, passed as breeding quality by the breed registry; 1.Polyxena Vigilo, born 14.04.2008 2.Hany Dolský Mlýn, born 24.04.2008 Finaly coming to the UK at the end of March. Pam
Just looked them up on Wikepedia. They look gorgeous, will they be the first in the UK then? Good luck. I would love to bring some Jamthund over one day. When I have space for more big dogs that is!
Hi Loki's mum Yes these two will be the first in the UK, there is 1 breeder of them in Germany, someone with her breeding as also a couple in France, several in other countries predominately used as SAR dogs. All the others are in Czech, although I believe there are a few on the otherside of the World Oz and US. Pam
I will eventualy have a litter off them sometime from 2010 onwards, as I have a few friends who want one. Pam
Never heard of these dogs, but they do look nice. Good luck with them. I'm away to read up on them now.
Interesting, a GSD look, (hopefully?) without many of the health issues too...a really nice uncomplicated, un-exaggerated looking dog. Mary
There isn't much on this breed on the internet from what I have been able to search. They do look like a nice working dog though. Do you plan to work them Wildmoor, and if so, at what? Or will they just be active pets?
Skilaki Hi the breed standard in Czech but if you scroll to the bottom of the page you can download in English, pdf format. I will do trials or schutzhund, also obedience, but primarily they will be companions. Pam soz forgot the link http://www.kpchp.org/standardcz.html
Hi Mary the only part of them that resemble a GSD is the head lol totaly different in character, conformation, size and movement. Pam
Apart from being people friendly (very much like a lot of WG lines over friendly) they like to live in groups so you can keep 6 or more bitchs/dogs in the same kennel and run. At last years meet in Czech there were 76 dogs and bitches free running without any squabbles. They dont like to fight and will avoid confrontation with other dogs. Can you imangine keeping several breeding GSDs in the same kennel! They will guard property from strangers but once told they will accept. They love kids, probably size thing, all have good noses, will become bored and stir crazy if not worked. If you imangine putting all the different lines of GSD temps in one dog these are it. Pam
As far as I know no one else here in the UK with any, there is a shortage of pups/dogs available and it has taken me since May when I visited Germany to obtain these. They only have small litters between 2-6 pups. Pam
oh i really like them, thanks for posting, really interesting! They are so cute like a GSDy/Tervy/spitzy
