Yes I am new at this amazing game. For those that are leaving advice and helpful information thank you so much. Your knowledge really does help us newbies a ton!
My dog is out of Chopper and a FC Mcbunn Bitch.
Your dog is almost a version of the Wood River's Coolwater ( Hank), he is a good looking boy who was recently purchased by Mike Molthan...with the Chopper/ Maggie McBunn bloodline are you looking for a linebred dog or are you looking to outcross in a different direction...on paper you should have a marking fool and I am guessing a larger but good looking dog
Yes you are right on target. She is an outstanding marker she is 70lbs of solid muscle, tall slender build. Good looking girl. Just looking for thoughts on which way to breed. First time breeding so just doing my home. Been leaning toward line breeding but am open to hearing thoughts for otherwise. What are your thoughts about Grady?
well may as well straighten you out now
maybe it's out of a bitch who was out of an FC bitch.....
Just to pile on about incorrect lingo: Grady is, indeed turning out to be a good producer himself especially since he's still relatively young. But it's incorrect to call his get "good producers" since few are old enough to have produced offspring, let alone titled offspring. No dog currently on the derby list could be called a producer, no matter how many ribbons they've earned, as Labs aren't typically bred before they're two.
FC MAD RIVER'S MAGGIE MCBUNN
then you have the littermate to Hank ?...because that litter sold for big $$$ and were placed accordingly
that is not a knock on Grady but if you look at Grady's bloodline and Maggie's bloodline its all LM, Maggie on her own has an impressive pedigree...the Chopper x Maggie McBunn breeding was a great match,if the OP has a littermate to Hank, he has himself potentially one heck of a dog..I threw birds for Hank for two days while he was on Remien's truck..Hank won this spring and I think has qualified for the '11 NARC, I think he is only four and he is one great looking male dog
Motown I don't know if your looking for the Stud with the most potential or the one that might cross well with your female? I guess I would look at what has crossed well with Chopper. Chopper's most successful litter to date arguably would be the cross with Scamp. From that litter came 4 dogs to date with AA wins and I believe that two have titled. I happen to know two of Scamp's brothers very well
If your interested gimme a pm or call.
