No - there are already too many problems by German Shepherd Dogs. And it is the main result why so many breeders are even against an idea to cross a CzW and a GSD. The puppies from such crossing look mostly more like GSD and most of them still have the same health problems.

Simply said: maybe such puppies are much more healtier than GSD. But they will be never as healty as CzWs....

I agree, Margo. In my opinion, most German Shepherd's dogs of today aren't even half as much as that of yesteryears. Now I said most because I have heard some around kept by some individuals who had "kept the faith", so to speak, and had kept their stock from being bred by modern sickly lines.

I know it's going to be by a long shot, but one has to make that first step. Hartl did and thus you have your CzW. Remember, GSDs were used in that breeding.

Best regards...
