For me it has nothing to do with a stigma. It has to do with I have an EIC carrier female and therefor cannot breed to another EIC carrier. That, in my opinion, causes EIC carrier studs to not be bred as much.
Yeah, John, but some have had their breeding programs in place long before the genetic testing became available, and choose not to throw the baby out with the bathwater. So it takes another generation or three to get clears if wanted, so what, it can be bred around. If only other breeding issues were so easy to remedy.
Came across this thread while searching information on a possible breeding.
Would like to hear comments on the predictions from several years ago. Admittedly, I know very little about dogs, but the person predicting tubbs seems to have hit the mark.
Anyone able to help with Fred Kampo contact info for B Bumble? I've found a number or two but one no longer in service. Left message at Kampo Properties but no luck.
No noise issues at all. The older I trained Jam'd his first Open he ran and has since earned a second. Danny loves him as do his owners, Milton and Sherry McClure. The other one I had is doing well with Chris Christopher. Finishes almost all of the trials he has entered. His owner, Bo Stull, says a lot of nice things about the dog. Both are excellent markers.
I'd also like to add my comments about my two Emmitt sired dogs. One I qualified at 19 months and should make a fine AA dog. The other one, at 16 months is looking to be a very good AA dog also. The older one is real easy going, the younger one is a bit high.
Found this old thread and man did you guys nail some of them! It’s also cool to see what the studs mentioned have accomplished since the time this thread originated. Let’s start it over with today’s young competitors. I’ll start with Clooney.
I'll chime in again to this thread. Clooney is a fine producer. I had a male out of the Clooney X Chrome breeding. The majority of that litter went to FT homes and are quite successful at a relatively early age. The one I had just won a qualifying stake at Mid-Iowa last weekend for Paul Sletten. He is now owned by Sue Reynolds.
Another dog that seems to be a fine producer is FLEX. The one I just trained went to Jay Lucas from VA. He put 11 points on him in four trials with a win included. He has finished all four derbies and both the quals he ran and doesn't age out of the derby until the end of November. I have another FLEX sired pup from a different bitch and the similarities are remarkable. Very smart, compliant, a tremendous on/off switch and most importantly can mark. I train with a guy that has another FLEX sired pup from a different litter and he says the same things about his dog. So FLEX may be throwing those genes from the limited pups I have witnessed.
