Glad to hear it was an honest mistake. I do agree that if you are interested in particular traits for a puppy, that people find parents and grandparents with those traits. Titles also don’t tell the whole story either, but it is a good starting point.
I guess I am a little sensitive. Java is a fine dog, but I know he isn’t for everyone (not sure if he is right for me). My own young dog is out of a BOB winner from WKC (2000) with a funny name. My own boy has a funny name too. He is out of SchH and breed tested stock. Both parents have been worked in SchH; his dam is out of a SchHIII import and would have had her SchHI if she weren’t killed in an accident (did have BST).
I am sure Fizbin would do well in SchH if given the chance. He has excelled in tracking, doing well in herding and is coming along in obedience. He is extremely high drive dog with an outstanding temperament and good looking- what I was looking for in a dog. Fizbin is out of AKC champions, BISS/BOSS winners and multi V-1 ratings too. Fizbin took his first V rating last fall and finish his AKC championship a few months ago.
I do hope no one will fault him if he wins at WKC next year<G>. But when the announcer says that the rottweiler can do it all, he won’t be too far from the truth for once if Fizbin is the one trotting around the ring.
The key is to research the parent’s pedigree for health, conformation and working traits. Not all rotts are right for all rott owners. You just have to find the right fit of breeder and pedigree for what you are interested in doing with your dog. My first male was exactly what I was looking for at the time. Fizbin is exactly what I was looking for when I got him. They are completely different rottweilers and I am very happy with both of them.
