Imported adult dog
Pros:
- It may make a good working dog trained according to
European standards.
- It may be a representative of excellent pedigree
bloodlines (for breeding objectives).
- Well-trained, ready for work (may need some training and
education in order to make a good domestic guard dog).
- It is guaranteed that the dog will not be changing (in
temperament and exterior).
- The possibility to examine health status of this dog
immediately.
Cons:
- Working instincts may turn to be very strong.
- European dog breeders may send a culled dog (cowardly or
very aggressive).
- If the problems arise at the end of a guarantee (usually
two weeks are given), an importer won’t take his dog back.
- Too poor choice.
Purchasing of an adult dog is similar to buying of a
second-hand car. Therefore, you should check, check and check
again. Sometimes on the first gaze the dog may look healthy but
nevertheless different problems may arise in future. This is
connected with genetics, past experience of the dog or different
diseases such as encephaloma. These dogs happened to bite and
attack people including fatal accidents. It is important for you
to choose a dog with help of an experienced veterinarian and
trainer.
Breeders
For years long practice some famous American trainers have dealt
with a lot of dog breeders. Conventionally they fall into two
groups: ones are more concerned about exterior of their pets
whereas the others–about working abilities.
Meanwhile, the both characteristics are important: common sense
says that the one is unable to be without the other as they
complement each other. Actually, a good guard dog with bad eyes,
weak legs, etc is nonsense. On the other hand, a beautiful but too
stupid dog will turn your life into a nightmare.
The dog that is sound of body and mind and with good working
abilities for all that it lacks external beauty but these
qualities totally atone for this deficit-this is what you need to
strive for. Needless to say, this aspiration matters only on
conditions that the standards of each dog breed are observed.
Best breeders wish their dogs to have beauty, health and good
working abilities. With current condition of genetics it is too
complicated task because every organism carries recessive genes
which are able to appear only across several generations.
That is why the worth of a pedigreed dog is specified in the third
or fourth generations, i.e. after a lapse of some years.
One of the Florida Kennels attempts to rear Rottweilers that will
be able to participate equally well in the ring and in sporting
events. For that the owners of the Kennel have visited
Germany many times.
They were asked for what reason they did it. Their answer is that
a Champion of United States of America must not necessarily have
working abilities because it neither undergoes tests nor
participates in competitions on Schutzhund system wining ranks and
top places like working dogs in Germany do.
Getting a litter from an American champion you can’t be sure that
all the puppies born will be working dogs.
