"Mutz was disparaged by N. Elliott (1968) who considers him to have been shy in his youth, but I can find no trace of this in German records available to me. It is, however, true that he lacked the angulation of shoulder and stifle of other imports and, at least in shoulder was vastly inferior to his father. Mutz was a very controversial dog and an even more controversial stud prospect. I have heard it said that he produced so many recessives that it is no surprise that breeders in Britain did not use him. N. Elliott (1968) perpetuates the myth with her comment that he was used on 'some pretty good bitches' and appears to have sired little of note. In fact Mutz had only 55 British litters and although some were from well-bred bitches many were to quite unsuitable mats. Mutz had produced cryptorchids, long coats and ear troubles in Germany and doubtless he produced his share in Britain along with poor character though I doubt if all this could be laid at his door. What he did possess was an outstanding gait that many British breeders would not appreciate. There are, for example, some who consider it a defect for the hind feet to overlap the front and Mutz certainly did that. My main criticism is that Mutz did not help shoulders despite the good shoulders behind him but those who used him and have, and his breeding did not have, this trait and that should have been apparent to anyone who took the trouble to check. In Germany Mutz produced three VA bitches and was successfully assimilated into breeding programmes." ~Author Unknown "Mutz was the sire of the 1964 Siegerin Blanka v Kisskamp. His progeny were generally showy and flashy in color and markings, some not quite perfect in front assembly, with often a slightly pinched expression through the eyes. A few exhibit rather high energy." ~Capt WM Goldbecker & Ernest Hart From "This is the German Shepherd" Progeny:
