I'm getting a pup soon for field trials, and I've got it narrowed down to a few litters. I can't decide so I thought I would draw on the collective experience of the members here. I'll start by saying that all the litters are priced similarly and will be socialized similarly. Feel free to pm or e-mail any suggestions or comments.
Litter #1
Calumet's Super Sonic x Libby, QAA (3 year old black bitch out of FC-AFC Hilltop's Hayseed x untitled bitch out of AFC Hawkeye's BR Buddy and FC-AFC Redline Wilderness Hanna Go) Libby is QAA with 18 derby points, one qualifying win and three qualifing seconds ... amateur trained ... has not had a chance yet to fly or flop in all age
Litter #2
Auggie x Molly, QAA (4 year old yellow bitch out of 2x NAFC Maxx and a QAA Harley daughter) ... linebreeding on Harley in case you weren't paying attention (grandsire to Auggie and Molly) Dam is QAA and had 19 derby points in 11 starts ... also has had no chance in all age yet
Litter #3
Cruise x CFC Abby (6 year old black bitch out of NFC Fast Willie x untitled Rascal bitch) Dam has qualified for a few Canadian nationals and was a finalist in 2003 National. Dam has 4.5 US points in a fair amount of starts with a 4th in her last US trial.
I understand that the dam is as important or more important than the sire and most of the time a litter from a titled female is best unless there's a sire that throw's particularly good pups (maybe soupy) or the lines "click." But, I don't know how much Canadian titles are viewed in comparison to US titles. So, fire away. Any guidance would be much appreciated.
