Brenda, the 5 types are the 5 foundation dogs Mylord,Job, Don,Kalcksteiner
and Roland.

I found that in the book written by Karl Brandt. (1909) with all the explanations there. He has written the first book about Deutsch langhaar.

I have also the original pedigrees from the first registered dogs. If you want to see them , i bring them to UK for you.

I don't know any breeders who are specifically breeding for a Job, Mylord etc " type ".

Like any new breed making an entry onto the world wide stage information can be accurate and inaccurate. Whatever the testing system, breeder or environment, in my eyes there are only two types of Longhairs, good ones and bad ones. I've seen both in Germany even though a breed master system applies. There are continental breeders who breed GLP's who are as good as those bred by respected breeders in the country of origin. The Germans must think so as their dogs have been featured in the DL Mitteilungen and their kennels have links on Gruppe websites too.

All testing systems are guide lines. Good dogs will be graded high, mediocre ones pass and bad ones will fail. But a breed isn't just about it's performance.

If Americans want 2 types, well that's up to them. It will be interesting to see in time which group produces quality in type , performance and most important of all, temperament.
