Thanks Good thinking for the idea, by the way

I'll start ones for FQ & Size.

I also think that kennels should wipe the post once the stud is no longer available

Analeyn

I have posted mine, will update the post when I retire them.

Congrats Analeyn on your pretty puppies, I am just ever so slightly green eyed

Hi Gypsy - you may be interested in your former boy, Gypsy Winds Keep Playing's first litter from 4 pups, with a 95.20 bitch. Not a top SOP, but not a bad result either.

Those are some nice pups Aussie!

Thanks. I am very pleased with the mother of the pups - Star of Venus. Out of three litters she has produced some very nice pups. The male is her second 95.55 pup.

Latest litter -- all low SS

I have two pups out of that litter that may be useful. If anyone wants either of them let me know.

www.showdog.com/dog.aspx?id=13923786

94.35 (18.5 SS)

www.showdog.com/dog.aspx?id=13923789

93.30 (17.1 SS, 9.5 F/Q, 9.2 Size)

I am just stuck....I can't seem to breed anything show quality. I have a few that I want to use for stud/brood but the waiting game is starting to get old lol

Trust me - I've been there for a very long time and have only just made progress with the 95.75, 95.60 and a 95.55 plus some other 95.40's.. I waited ages and FHed litter after litter after litter so I can assure you that it does break eventually

Analeyn

Spyte, I feel your pain. Ive been FH'ing most pups, and the few that I have been sessioning i feel are barely fit for teh ring, but I do it so that Im showing SOMETHING. Since Get Lucky, I've gotten one other 95.45 dog...and thats about it for SOLID show quality, the rest are mostly questionable. Ive gotten rid of most of my breeding bitches and brought in new ones, just waiting for them to age up. I have a TON of them.

I am breeding my oldies one last time. If I don't get anything I am going to stop breeding for a bit and let my new babies hit breeding age and start again essentially.

Yet another entire low SS litter, seem to be having a rash of them.
Two not bad bitch puppies - but both low SS.

www.showdog.com/dog.aspx?id=13929788
Theoretical SOP 95.20, but has 18.9 SS and real SOP of 94.35


www.showdog.com/dog.aspx?id=13929789
Theoretical SOP 95.15, has 19.8 SS and real SOP of 95.05.

Have to decide whether to keep one or not. But have not had a lot of luck breeding low SS bitches.

Ive given up on anything low SS and gone back to not keeping or breeding anything under 20.

Low SS dams brought some strong traits into my kennel which I think really worked for my lines. However, I seem to be keeping less and less with low SS - largely do to the fact that mostly all of my puppies are coming through with full 20's.

I wouldn't discount it entirely, but then each kennel has different luck with their own strategies I found that it did help and will certainly continue to consider traits above SS


Analeyn

New boy up for stud with some strong traits. www.showdog.com/dog.aspx?id=13857998

Just FH'ed two more complete litters

Same here....another litter gone. UGH I wish someone could get out of this breeding rut

Ive got 5 litters to hit the ground between now and Tuesday. Ive got fingers crossed! Especially after i finish sessioning the currently sessioning batch, I have nothing waiting in the wings. Then all my new broodies will be old enough to start producing in the next 2 weeks.

Didnt we collectively have a breeding rut around the middle of 94 SOP as well?

Yes yes we did. I remember finally hitting that 95 mark was so glorious! Hopefully we will get out of this rut soon.

Bum bum bum, another litter bites the dust...

Three more litters whelped -- 3 more litters FH'ed ....

Total of 6.

Except for one 95.10 male up for sale, although his SOP is not great. Will FH also if no one wants him.
