In italy only 2 dogs have IPO1
SKY and Susie Passo del lupo
SKY:
Guess what...he's son of
I'Navarre Arimminum, son of Ambra, daughter of HASSO.
Hasso surely gives working lines because many working dogs come from him.
Susie Passo del lupo
Daughter of Cutt and Usta
Usta is mother of Shinook, Trained and with certificate for civil protection.
Usta is sister of UMA
Uma is mother of Oliver...
Also mother of Tajga pdl, trainable dog.
I think we are in two different cases.
in the first case we have an evident working line.
Not only different generations get the blood but also different litters from different mothers get it.
In the second case i think (my personal opinion) we can see an open and friendly temper line, not necessarily a "working" line.
Carmen Vlèí stezka daughters and puppies from daughters I have seen are all with quite open character, easily trainable (not wolfish and shy). But..., for what i see, not exaclty working line.
It took me months and months to get from oliver a simple "obedience" that i saw a German shephard do in 1 hour on his first training day (DAMN!!!)
Of course in my opinion you can see a working line ONLY if owners are WORKING owners...
there can be a "non working line" with some working dogs and a "working line" with non working owners but you will NEVER know it was a working line.
....confused? dazzled?
ME TOO!!
