No. We miss here one really important thing - the goal for breeders from other countries is not to
copy the CZECH (or Slovak) lines but to make THEIR OWN. It is what has be told to me many times during my visits in Slovakia.
Breeders should cooperate but every country has different blood and different opportunities. At the same time every country is able to make only few groups. For the whole POPULATION it would be much beter if there would be more different lines and not the few "Czech"; it would be much beter if every country will make their own lines.
What it means - it is better to THINK than to COPY...
Example: one of the listed groups is a real Pandora's box: full of dogs which are not only looking like German Shepherds but also suffering from serious problems with hips and elbows. Simply said: horrible look + horrible health problems. For years I was happy that we didn't have dogs from this group in Poland.... Till last year. One of the brainless breeders make huge promotion for this blood and there were few litters born.
Should I be hapy to have this "unique" and "seldom" line by us? No, I'm not. Especially when I see the puppies on our dog shows. Already at the early age they are moving like ill german shepherds. Not able to jump, not able to run harmonious. Tired to death after 5 minuts of playing. It is VERY SAD look when you see puppies which would like to play but are not able to do this because of the totally body failure.
No - really not everything is good to be copied and not all blood lines are worth to be saved....
Lines are important but not at all costs....
So my idea is - it will be better not to base on the Czech lines but to make a program which will show offsprings of specific dogs which are already "on the merket". For example if someone will decide to make "Gar z Rosikova" line the program should give as results stud dogs with the highest amount of Gar z Rosikova blood. It would be universal solution which every country, every breeder and every club can use
