I have a new puppy (dog) with a 19.9 SS what would you all do. Other #'s very impressive the main thing is a 10.8 gait and we have been having mainly 11.00 gait would you keep, show or FH I do have a few others with low gait other breedings but not as high SOP

My lowest gait is 10.7

By the way he is a Bouvier

Don't let 19.9 SS stop you! I've finished a dog or two with 19.8 SS in a fairly competitive breed. If he's good/great otherwise, I say go for it.

I've finished several dogs with 19.9, I think the lowest was 19.7. I don't keep if there's an equal puppy with better SS, but in this case it sounds like this puppy has good things to offer the breed - Keep him!

Thanks guys for your input I am gonna keep him. Sometimes I wish they were real puppies (sigh)LOL

I finished a malamute with 17.5 SS. Don't let it stop you if all the other traits look good. Just breed back to dogs with 20 SS.

Hi KC

I'm keeping a 19.9 showshine because it has a great TNB (pointers important).

Hoping I can strengthen the showshine while not losing the TNB.
