Are there any breeds that have an active group of source breeders? Thinking of trying it, most of the breeds I used to play (besides ECS) are at 100%, which is no fun.
Thinking maybe Brittanys, GSP, GWP.. others? |

When you say "Source Breeder", do you mean true source to source- or do you mean source to current sop breedings? |

I mean true source breeding. I have a kennel of dogs in the 98’s-99’s. The breeds i started in are all at 100’s, which seems pointless to me. So looking for a breed that has active source breeders to show against. I just got my first litters of Gen 1 Brittanys (on Alt kennel) but still open to other breeds. |

I'm in Bloodhounds and I currently have 2 lines, a Source line, and a high SOP line. I started with just source dogs, but there were a few existing studs that had 90+ SOP that I bred with to get my current line. So, not really "true" Source x Source, but I currently have dogs in the 30's pushing into the 40's. Not a ton of showing activity, but I run my high SOP dogs occasionally. The high SOP line is in the high 90's and it comes from hidden/ghost studs and a previous bloodhound breeder that sold me a pair of 700+ day old bitches. I tried Greater Swiss Mountain Dogs and Kooikerhondjes in one of my other kennels, but I am just not patient enough for true source breeding. |

I’m working on Bloodhounds but I’m not doing strictly source since I was sort of struggling with it. But I’m using Grenich as my leaning post ![]() |

Bloodhounds have a great little community, for sure! |

Sadiera, true Source breeding takes YEARS. I have been source breeding in this kennel since forever. My dogs are not near show quality, I love it. It is not for the faint of heart and not for the uncommitted. Carol aka Clwyd Cockers/Rossett Spaniels |

I am currently doing a Source breeding project. Breeding Source to current SOP. The project has a goal. Newfoundland Dogs have been locked with 10.2 in Head for a number of years. My goal is a head stat of 9.9, 10 or 10.1 in a finishable SOP dog. I am on generation 7 from Source now and it is still going to take months. I will persevere. Cheers |

Yeah, my youngest show quality ECS are Gen 157. That’s about 13 years with a wider pool of dogs. |
