I know some people did it back when colors were first introduced, but that was dozens of generations ago. Has anyone bred up a color within the past few years?

I did it myself back several years ago, but obviously it's gonna be harder the more generations ahead current dogs are. Any successes? Tips or tricks?

I've never done it but I've always thought about doing it. I'm colour breeding in a different kennel although bringing in higher sops from outside studs - that's difficult enough!

I breed source to modern. Can't imagine doing it source to source.

Still, it takes about six dogs per gene to do it.

The only kennel that I can think of that is breeding from source to source (with no outside studs/current SOP studs) is Caulfeild Kennels (Welsh Springer Spaniels). I believe they've been working on that project for 10 years!

I have been quietly working on Border Terriers in this kennel.

Except for the 2 or 3 bought Source/Admin in the beginning, All my dogs are of my kennel.

I have been at this project for about 10 or 11 months, and am only at Generation 6.

So far, this is my best Border Terrier:

Edited to add that I am using the old system for SOP's.
