Have you noticed how many times he shows up in pedigrees? It amazes me, admittedly it's far back, but he's in there four and five times in a lot of pedigrees...

Yes, he's in most of our's 5-6 generation pedigree at least 4 times

Itchin To Go is preent in pedigrees because of the 10 titled offsping he produced and then the next generation also produced competative dogs. That phenomen will contin until the dogs produced are no longer comptative and that line will die out.

Dogs that don't reproduce themselves are no longer carried in any pedigrees. Dogs like Martens Mister Nifty are carried along because he produced River Oaks Corky. Beedings such as River Oaks Rascal x Candlewoods Nellie-B-Good will be found in pedigrees that is a foundation breeding behind Mary Howley's females that produced so many national winners. Those national winners will carry that cross for years providing you follow the pediree enough generations.

In itchin To Go grand offspring are may titled offspring that eventually go to Waldorf's High Tech sire of Lean Mac and then more productive dogs.

Richard, that makes sense...I never thought of it that way. I always noticed how many popular dogs are "after" him.

Nice picture Otey.

Thanks,

Lean Mac is a given, that will keep him in pedigrees for a long time. But, he's also behind Cosmo, and Candlewoods Ramblin Man among others, I'm surprised how often...
