My 99.25 boy will be up in two weeks.

I have a number of boys with heads at 10.2 aside from 'Whitegold Head Held High'. I'll pop them up at stud.

All my dogs with 'big heads' are named with an 'h' starting names. Dogs with dams or sires that are 'headed' are named either 's h' or 'd h' depending on whether mum or dad had the big head.

If anyone is interested, I do have some girls with big heads too, and regularly have litters that are throwing 10.2 heads. I'm still waiting for the 10.1 or 10 though!

Woot. Smooth Criminal produced 3 9.8s in coat today.

I am keeping the nicest male but I did list the other two.

Will

Thanks guys I updated the list. If you have young dogs with good traits tell me when they turn 30 days and I will add them.

For those that are trying to get 9.8 in coat... It looks like my kids out of Shock Rock are the ones producing the higher coat.

Just an fyi.

Will

Has anyone produced a Coat or Foot higher than 9.8 yet?

Will

No, nothing better than a 9.8 for either, so frustrating. Having more luck with getting 10s for size, my heads are either 9.8 or 10.2, never in between, which is even more frustrating.

I have some starters in this kennel. Might use them to see if I can get some different coat/feet #s.
