Gday fellow CMD breeders!

I thought we could try to make our forum a little more ‘social’ hahaa – and have created this thread as a way to keep everyone updated with the progress of our breed

Feel free to drop by and join in with:
- New High SOPs
- New Studs up
- Show Achievements
- Breeding Achievements
- Trait or Colour Breeding Projects
- Merit Awards
- Group/Show placements
- And any other good old’ random news!



Our current breeders include:
- Champions-true-kennel
- Cwn Bach Arbennig Cymru
- Ktrenal
- Quileute Legends
- WarmWaterKennels
- Zephyrs Joy

I’ve been a little less-active in this breed than I would have liked, but have still had some relatively good success


My highest SOP dogs are:

Quileute – Power of Dance (90.15% Broodie)
www.showdog.com/dog.aspx?id=13619663

Quileute – Stone Cold Memories (90.15% Stud)
www.showdog.com/dog.aspx?id=13534350


I have been attempting to breed 9.8 in Coat and have so far got 4 dogs:

Quileute – Bird of Paradise, Fire Cloud, Flame Thrower and Rocket Man.

Their SOPs range from 87.60-89.05%

With time I should be able to breed up the SOP of those dogs with 9.8 in Coat.

I have managed to breed one GCH:

GCH CH Quileute – Place in History
(As well as 25 CHs.)

What has everyone else been up to?

i love this idea! I really miss how social this site used to be, anyway iv literally just started in this breed but I'm already in love, call it beginners luck but i was all excited to find a girl pup yesterday with a 90.0 sop then i come in today to find i had three pups born today with sop's of 90.30, 90.40 and 90.65!
All girls so if anyone wants to session up a girl or two i will have them in the ring soon (with four i believe it'll be a major) I'm hoping to Finnish all three or four =)

All thanks to quileute for providing me with four fabulous broods, its really great joining such a helpful breed!

in the furture id like to start focusing on size of upcoming pups, although for now I'm still just establishing my kennel, but you've gotta have goals

Holy cow! That's amazing - those SOPs are awesome!!

well done on your first litter

Totally jealous lol! :P

Haha wouldn't have been possible if you hadn't shared some of your lovely dogs with me, so you deserve most of the credit! =)

Its like the puppy gods knew they'd get me hooked to this site again with a few good pups lol

Hi all!

I just started in CMDs so I don't have a lot going on yet. So far my highest SOP is 90.00

-WarmWater Rocky Pass (Bitch)
www.showdog.com/dog.aspx?id=13649459

and

-WarmWater Red Soldier (Dog)
www.showdog.com/dog.aspx?id=13680426

I'm still trying to build up my kennel but I'd like to eventually focus on HQ and TNB.

good to see another cmd breeder on the forum! =D
looks like were all in the same region with sop's!

Its a shame my pups won't be old enough to enter friday into the speciality. I'm so excited to start showing again i feel like its taken a week for them to turn three days old haha
Do either of you have pups getting ready for the ring?
I'm still new obviously so i haven't looked at entires yet to see how the competition is around here

I currently have 2 x 90.20% and 90.25% bitch pups that Im sessioning up for the ring They are only 2 days old tho - so they will take a while

My new highest dog! coming in at 90.4 sop

And his size is a 9.3! slowly making progress!
I can't wait to see what he produces

www.showdog.com/dog.aspx?id=13724567

So I noticed we haven't had a merit cmd for like four years! Are you guys working on that at all?

Super random I know, but toffee one of my foundation bitches currently has five pups in the ring, with a sixth sessioning and another litter on the way!
I didn't breed her, quilet was nice enough to share her with me to get my kennel started. So fingers crossed it'll be a nice way to say thank you hopefully I'll be posting here soon with some good news! Cross your fingers!!

I haven't really been showing as much as I should in this kennel and therefore I don't have any dogs that are likely to turn into Merit dogs unfortunately.

Lets hope that Toffee earns her Merit soon

1/5 done for toffee's pups! so close yet really sooo very far away! haha thats my first champ in this kennel

So out of curiosity and desire to keep this thread going what traits are you all working on? The highest size iv gotten is 9.3, thats what id ideally like to work on. While working on head a little too! i think my highest there is a 9.2, so lots of room for improvement!

-my first litters of cmd pups are a week away from breeding, it seems like iv been waiting forever to start my next generation! lol

I just had this boy born:

Quileute - Mr. Blue Bird
www.showdog.com/dog.aspx?id=13760974

He's a 90.55%

Also have this boy:

Quileute - Man Overboard!
www.showdog.com/dog.aspx?id=13755023

He's a 90.50% boy.

I have 2 90.20 & 90.25% girls about to hit the ring this week, as well as 3 boys being sessioned up currently.

Coat project:
I’m currently working on a ‘coat’ project and now have 8 x 9.8’s and 3 x 9.7’s in coat.

Head:
I haven’t focused on head very much at all – and only have 3 or 4 9.0’s in head as my highest in that trait.

Size:
I have about 8 or 9 dogs that have a 9.5 in Size – but thats about it :/

Those are the highest boys yet! Congrats! I can't wait to see what they produce!

Thanks I'm looking forward to seeing what they can do for the breed too

I was wondering what everyone thought of this:

Who would be open to participating in a 'brood swap' arrangement?

Normally I don't bother selling my older broods once I have finished breeding from them, i just automatically FH them. I wondered if we all did this, and whether or not it might be an idea to try and do a 'brood swap'? This would just mean that once you have finished with a brood, you list her for sale and place the words 'brood swap' in the call name - and then another kennel can use her for 1-2 litters before she is eventually FH'd.

I wonder if this might help the breed by trying her genes out with other boys from other kennels etc. It may potentially also increase money flow between kennels ...

Just an idea - feel free to input

I loveee this idea!
Esp because all my dogs are from three studs, so I'm really in need to switch it up! haha

Awesome

Well from now on I shall place the words 'Brood Swap' in the call name of any of my older girls that I think will be suitable

If anyone is looking for a new pup to mix in with their lines i have the pups for ya!
Sometimes i get a little to excited with that breed button and now its gotten me over run with so many nice dogs that I'm unfortunately going to have to fh! if anyone wants one feel free to make an offer, i hate to waste such good pups due to lack of room.

Introducing my new high SOP boy:

Quileute - It Started With a Kiss
www.showdog.com/dog.aspx?id=13913111

91.35% !!!

Very happy that he is a boy lol :P

Will be in the ring in a few weeks
