DDR Zuchtlinien
With regards to discussion DDR bloodlines, you may have come across the expressions "no line 13",
or Line 5-A, etc.  Have you ever wondered what that means??  Well, although it is not necessarily
simple to trace, it is not a mysterious code.  In the old DDR, certain much-used foundation dogs'
bloodlines (Zucthlinien) were given a corresponding number, sometimes seen on a pedigree as
ZL:XIII-A (13-A)  or ZL:XII (12) etc,  When another dog in future generations became a very
proponent sire, he was given his own corresponding number, and so on.  Their offspring carried the
sire line's number (never the dam's).  By learning a little about the bloodlines, and by knowing who
the key sires were, you can glean a great deal of information about the dogs in their background, just
by knowing the ZL#.  For example, Tino vom Felsenschloss was from ZL XII (12).  Knowing this, I
would know that he (and his offspring) go back (eventually) to, Utz v Haus Schutting.  Again,
remember that you only follow the sire line.

Here are the early bloodlines and some of their notable offspring most often seen in our DDR
pedigrees:
As there are only a few lines left,  the others  have become extinct.  These are the lines listed in the
1962-1963 DDR Korbuch:

Line V had a branch - line VA (Nestor v Wiegerfelsen down through Immo v Hasenfang)

No Mention of Line XIV, presumed extinct.


In the 1972 DDR Korbuch, I found the following:
Auf grund des großen Umfanges der bisherigen Linie XI A wird diese neu eingeteilt in:
(On the basis of the large circumference of the previous line XI A this is newly divided in:)
XI A:  alle Vaterhunde, die auf Rolf v Osnabrucker Land zurzückgehen, ohne Ali v Gränert
(all sires descending from Rolf v Osnabrucker Land, except Ali v Gränert)
XI B: Ali v Gränert und seine Söhne, ohne Barry v Andershofer Ufer
(Ali v Gränert and his sons, except for Barry v Andershofer Ufer
XI C: Barry v Andershofer Ufer und seine Nachkömmen
(Barry v Andershofer Ufer and his descendants)
Die bisherigen Linien XI B und XI C werden unter XI B eingeordnet.  Alle anderen Linien bleiben unverändert.
(The previous lines XI B and XI C are incorporated under XI B.  All other lines remain unchanged. )


Also in the 1972 Korbuch, I found the following changes:
Line X was headed by Trick v Schlossfelsen.  Line XI was headed by Gnom v Piastendamm.
Lines XI (ABC) were divided as mentioned above.

By 1973, all mention of Lines 1 through -4 were gone.
Line V-A was now through Gundo v Stolper Land,
Line XIII-A was through Rolf a.d Urnenkeller descendants Rigo vd Schiebockmuhle - Fred v Falkenbruch;

By 1975, the following changes:

Line XII was through Gero v Haus Elkemann - Clodo v Rudingen - Gero v Guckelhorst

By 1978, Line XII was through Gero v Haus Elkemann - Clodo v Rudingen - Frei v Baruther Land

By 1979, Line XIA included Don v Haus Himpel

By 1981 (the last book I currently have at my disposal)
the only lines left were V-A, XI-A, XI-B, XI-C, XII, XIII-A
New headers in the lineup was  XI-A Pushkass v Haus Himpel.
