Yeah true mate but with that stuff there will always be a good one in there if not several.

[HPR 1,161]

Maybe but youve got to take credit where credits due . they will know who they are and theyve got to take credit for what theyve done and do etc too.

I don't doubt it, but just the type I like, strong with good coat

Good question and in all honesty I wouldn't have a clue. If I could go back at all I'd use my Toby, the dog that set the bar impossibly high, a dog that could produce and a dog that was massively under used on bitches.

Toby was by Choker and out of Mo, full brother and sister. I haven't hardy got any pictures of the dog and the ones I've got you can hardly see his features, cameras were shite back in the day.

Nick didn't breed him but he was responsible for the parentage, what I'd give for a semen sample off him now.

Thanks again for the great pics and info and making this a very interesting thread.

 

Was there a reason why Toby wasn't used over many bitches?

 

Just wondering was it that there were no suitable bitches available or did you think there were better dogs out there and used them instead?

 

Can you also become a slave to the line/too fixated with using a certain dog over a certain bitch and risk missing breeding off a dog of the calibre of Toby? Going with your head rather than going with you heart?

 

Thanks

Ruby, a class act all her working career, she's now on three legs and still does a bit, semi retirement. She's not my bitch but i've got her daughter, she's the bitch third from the right in the picture of four bitches. She's done more work than you could shake a stick at and probably more than everything in my yard put together.

Toby wasn't used over many bitches because i was a snot nosed bit of a kid, plain and simple. That dog and his son gave me my name and there offspring did the same for a few others. i suppose it boils down to the politics thing again, would you use a twenty odd year old's dog when Johnny big bollocks is shouting louder down the road. One thing i can say with certanty is if you saw him work you'd use him.

 

I stopped following the family because i got caught up in head games and the last dog i had out of this line was run over which took the decision out of my hands. I'd give every dog out of my yard for one more year with Toby, then i could pack up happy.
