German Working Bloodline Info
I'm cleaning out some old files (procrastinating from doing my taxes), and I found this article that I had saved from 1992, The German Shepherd Quarterly, by Nancy Jacobsen. It has some invaluable information on the influential dogs in working bloodlines. And, 21 years later, these dogs are the still the foundation of today's working German Shepherds--these traits are still influential and form the scaffold of our dogs' temperaments and working abilities.

Harro is seen most often through his son Fado v Karthago, and Fado is seen most often through his sons Task and Troll v Haus Milinda, linebred 2-3 on Fado, and 7,7,6 - 7,8,8,7 on Bernd Lierberg.
Gildo v Koerbelbach is frequently seen through his son Arek v Stoffelblick (also 5-5 on Inka v Itzal). Nick v Heiligenbosch's mother was 2-3 on Gildo (through Arek and Orly Baerenfang) and also brings forward these old lines--5-5 on Racker v Itzal, 6,7-7,7,8,7 on Inka, 5-6,7,6 on Quicke.
One other huge influence in today's working bloodlines is Orry v Haus Antverpa--a grandson of Robby v Glockeneck, he also brings Enno v Bielstein, Greif z Lahntal, Ziggo Bungalow, and Bernd Lierberg in his 5-generation pedigree.
What you don't see mentioned in this article is the powerhouse producer of top producing sons, Fero v Zeuterner Himmelreich--born in 1984, Fero's influence was just starting to be seen in 1992.

Rescue Dog -- looking for a good home
"Chloe" is a lively, small female who loves training and loves human
attention. She is OK with cats and small dogs, is a bit insecure with
bigger dogs, but once she gets to know them, she really enjoys playing
with them. She also has lived with kids for the last 3 months and really
enjoyed them (I wouldn't recommend her for toddlers, but for dog-wise
kids who are over the toddler age, she should do well.)
She was originally bought by an elderly couple, but she was too active for them, so they consulted some behaviorists and she ended up in my hands to re-home her. (She's not from my breeding.)
I found her a good home, but that didn't work out because she does not do well when left alone in a crate. (She's fine crated when people or other dogs around, but seems to panic when all alone.) So, they started leaving her out of the crate--and she would get into the trash and was otherwise destructive. They said she was just about perfect when they were home, but too destructive when they left her for any amount of time (3+ hours).
I got her back last week--she's spayed and up to date on all medical care. She's about 45 pounds right now, and I think she will mature under 55 pounds. She has AKC papers that will go with her.
She would do great with someone who wanted to do agility with her--lively, fast, easy to motivate, and very physically self-confident. She's also the type of dog who looks to her person when she is a bit nervous--so she gives more focus and looks to her handler for guidance. She is food motivated and also loves to play ball.
