Joe Biden's puppy?

http://jolindys.com/

was curious, but couldn't find any OFA scores. Maybe because some are imported?

"Last week, Biden appeared at the home of Chester County, Pa., breeder Linda Brown and picked out a male German shepherd puppy.

News outlets inundated the Brown family with requests to pay a visit to the 6-week-old pup. By late Thursday afternoon, the dog was slumbering with his siblings as Brown gave interviews. Also on hand were the pup's father, Rex, and great-grandfather, Hans.

These are all German Working lines. If they were imported they got their hip scores in Europe.

Re: Re: Joe Biden's puppy?

From just a cursory glance at the breeder's website, the general pedigree offerings appear to be mostly West German show lines with working titles. Generally, (but not always, as some can be hard) they're more mellow tempered than the harder working lines or the extra drivey sport lines. Leerburg is a working-line kennel, though high volume in litter production. The Wynthea name (sire of one of the stud dpogs) is the kennel name a respected long-time GSD breeder who is an AKC obedience pioneer.

I too am rather concerned about the apparent lack of OFAs, "a" stamps or other hip/elbow clearances on the parents.

Don't have time for further research, though I'd be tempted to look elsewhere for a GSD as I prefer working lines myself.

Is Linda Brown the breeder of Biden's puppy?

Re: Joe Biden's puppy?

Oh dear. Want to bet that the Bidens walk away from this deal?

Re: Joe Biden's puppy?

That's it. Shoot yourself in the foot. Follow a website with anti-breeder propaganda. This is a BREEDERS forum! Jeez the self-Loathing! Imagine!

Joe Biden used to show Shepherds years ago. If that's what he wants let him buy it.

Okay sarcasm now turned off for the day

Re: Joe Biden's puppy?

Exactly!!!

Re: Re: Joe Biden's puppy?

Just be warned there are bad GSD breeders out there.

Re: Joe Biden's puppy?

As there are in ANY breed!
