My issue with CherCar is the hypocrisy. They go on and on about the importance of breeding “true working dogs” on their website. And their most recent litter has no “working” titled parents. Most of their Dutch Shepherds have conformation titles. A few have novice-level titles. If a breeder wants to work their ass off and put high-level working titles on their dogs, health clear them, and then charge $2000 for the puppies, that’s something different. CherCar attacks the FCI people for breeding out working ability, and then turns around and purpose-breeds low-drive pet dogs.
And if you want attacking, we have:

“It’s too bad, but whenever somebody starts to attack others, it’s a form of insecurity.”
Followed by:
“The Groenendael is so small headed he couldn’t bite anything bigger than a hotdog, the Tervuren has lost its mind and gained severe epilepsy, the Lakenois is a heavy coated dead head.”
“I would say that if you are looking for a fine boned, jackal headed, dog aggressive, fearful shadow of what a dog could really be, check out one of those autocratic “pure” breeders. You will have the pleasure of owning a caricature of a dog. If you only want window dressing, if you don’t want to DO something with your dog, other than prance around a show ring, by all means get a long coated, dog aggressive pretender.”
I had a brief exchange with an AKC DS person and she said basically the same thing about the temperament of KNPV-line dogs. It’s kind of ironic, in a sad way.
I applaud CherCar for producing quality pet dogs. I applaud CherCar for health-testing their dogs. I applaud CherCar for doing some form of temperament testing on their dogs. But is it necessary to produce more pet-quality Dutch shepherds? Isn’t this why they are so opposed to FCI dogs?
