What are everyones thoughts about Rebel as a stud dog? He has such a nice older pedigree. Without looking I think he had around 70-80 AA points. I think that was with him being retired due to injury at a pretty young age around 6 or so I believe. What are his offspring like? What traits did he seem to throw? Thanks, Travis

ps. Not looking for a stud, just curious.

Here is my Rebel son! He is awesome. He is a hardcharging and very smart. Plus really goodlooking, he is running hunt test, and doing great in them.

Rebel was a close second for our breeding of CAFC Sara.

He has a very solid pedigree and really stamps his mark on his get.

Only seen him rum once, he did not finish that trial, but that was enough for me.

The temperment of his pups from my experience is top notch.

Lyle,

There have been several Rebel off spring that I have Identified at a trial or test simply on physical appearence. The head, muzzle and ear piece are the most notable along with the front assembly, which is not all that correct but distinct.

Tails as a whole are good and coat is good.

The other is the "mannerisms" for lack of a better term, on the line. They are very intense, and do a little "pumping" The few I have seen also roll birds pretty good, this I have concluded is a training fault. it does however reveal the desire of wanting the next bird, they can't get the one in the mouth out fast enough.

I bred to FC-AFC Rebel twice. (24 pups in all). I was very happy with the results and would have bred another time but my NAFC-FC Cropper female was retired after two litters.

The dog in my avatar is from the first breeding. HRCH Frontier's Cherokee Rebel MH. My Rebel is a 2006 Master National Qualifier passing seven out of 8 Master hunt tests in 2006.

My Rebel is very controllable, laid back in the crate, but ready to go to work on the line. Excellent house dog and companion and is passing on the trainability and great genetics of his sire in limited breedings.

I am a big fan of FC-AFC Rebel With A Cause.

Here is Riverbenz Rebel's Rollingrock (Rocky) he is a Rebel son.



He just turned 3 and is running master. He is an amazing dog. He has a few litters on the ground and his pups seem to have his desire and drive.

Rebel seem to pass on nice head structure.

I have to agree that Rebel seems to put a very nice head on his pups. Just looking at the photos in this thread all the heads are similar to my Rebel pup, it also seems that I have one of the rare black pups. Bang is 18 months old and has been very easy to work with, loaded with desire, extremely agile and of course pleasing to look at.

All the dogs shown in this thread, are what I believe the breed standard should be!! But that is just my own opinion, of course.

Labman,

I tend to agree with you. I am a bench person and am ashamed of what is in the ring today representing the breed. I have been committed to field work for a year and a half now and have learnt so much about structure and balance in a dog and what that really mans.

I am breeding my bench dog who is in shape at 58 pounds, to Rocky at the end of the year. I am looking forward to raising a female from that litter.

Oh my what am I thinking? A bench Lab at 58 pounds :shock:

Sorry could'nt resist, but what I need to improve on my girl I can try to get with Rocky. The soundness in that pedigree is very important to me.
