I'm pleased to see on my recent visit to their web site that they have apparently been alerted to my post. They have removed the pictures of Blacky and Waldo from their site. I also need to amend my statistics for probablity of breeding solid black GSD puppies. Assuming the dam carries the black recessive (which is questionable as Pascha does not have the characteristic pencil marks and tar heels that are typically found in carriers of black recessive gene) and is bred to an all black male, the outcome is 50% possible to produce a solid black puppy, 50% recessive carrier only. The chance of getting 10 solid black puppies from such a breeding is equivalent to flipping a coin and getting "heads" 10 times in a row... 1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 = 1/200 or 0.5% chance of getting 10 black puppies from such a breeding. Possible, but unlikely. Given the original false claim that "Master vom Pierre" aka Blacky vom Neuen Lande was the sire, I am skeptical of any claims from this breeder. I have made screen captures of the original pictures on the web site and if I can find out how to post them to validate my original report I will do so.
