Have put another boy up for stud duties.

Finally a nice surprise this morning!

www.showdog.com/dog.aspx?id=13940251

Kind of sad though. Out of a litter of 5 pups- the next highest SOP of the bunch was 94.15. Lame. Guess all the good stats got used on this lovely girl!

Congrats - she is lovely

Another stud going up. His SOP is meh, but I mention it because I havent seen a TNB higher than his 9.6 yet.

New stud, I added him to the "fore" list. He's 9.2 fore, but also has 9.1 size and feet.

Oh we legit have the lists now? lol. THat'll teach me to only get to this thread from "my posts" and not check the actual forums.

lol I thought the same thing. I am stud shopping for future pups I am FHing all my old bitches, they aren't producing anything worth keeping.

Yeah, we did lists for studs with good fore, good feet and good size. The theory is to help out when you don't have time to search every dog but want to work on one trait. I know sometimes I just use the best in my own kennel if I don't have time to search. The lists make it a bit easier.

If anyone is working on a different trait, feel free to start up a list for that!

New stud

95.40

No special traits but a nice dog still.

So...what's happening in Keeshonds?

Hope that everyone has had some breeding success! A few new 95.55's in this kennel have been nice lately

Analeyn

Meh, not a ton of breeding success over here, but the first bunch of new broodies came into heat in the last day or two, so heres hoping.

Is it just me, or does it totally seem like its mostly dogs and many fewer bitches in the ring lately?

I haven't really noticed that - but probably only because I have a lot of upcoming bitches to show

Analeyn

Not a lot of breeding success. Since getting a 95.40 bitch and 95.55 male 18 days ago, I seem to be stuck around 95.30/.35 SOP, or lower. Did get one bitch at 95.40, but not overly impressed with her size and feet combo.

I agree with Gypsy, there does seem to be fewer bitches showing, maybe most breeders are in my situation. My current show bitches will coming out of the ring as soon as their current shows are done as I badly need new brood bitches, and my three new bitches, due to start showing are not ready yet (owing to a lot of dud litters in between). Not that the new ones are anything outstanding.


How do people evaluate this boy.... I like most of him, but not his head, which makes me think twice about keeping him. Especially as he is only 95.35 SOP.

I haven't had much luck with breeding. I have a couple of broodies coming up, so hopefully my luck will change here soon.

Two more boys up for stud duties at $50 per service.

Athos - 95.25 SOP (9.7 head, 9.2 F/Q, 10.5 H/Q, 9.5 Gait, 9.6 Coat, 9.3 Size, 8.8 Feet)

Aramis - 95.30 SOP (9.78 Head, 9.2 F/Q, 10.5 H/Q, 9.5 Gait, 9.7 Coat, 78.9 Size, 9.0 Feet)

I have updated the Forequarter and Size post to include these boys.

Well, my breeding luck is looking up. Got a 95.60 and a 95.65 tonight!

www.showdog.com/dog.aspx?id=13966584

The first one came from the same broodie who gave me my last (and until tonight only) 95.60.

Congrats on your both your boys Gypsy - very, very nice pups, I especially like the one from Broken Dreams. I have not yet cracked a really good one from him, will have to keep trying.

Sigh!!!! I am well and truly in a rut - I just FH'ed four more complete litters. Just can't crack a really nice pup

Just hoping my new bitches coming in can produce a nice pup or two, although my luck lately is not promising. All fingers and toes crossed!!!!!!!!!

Thanks Aussie


Yknow, I feel bad over here that there's such a rut. I've decided to share the wealth. Im going to put up the dam who's sired 2 95.60+'s (in 2 different litters, 2 different studs) up for sale if anyone wants to give her a go. May she produce the as well for you as she has for me.

Great idea

You can be assured that the rut does have an end - I spent a long time in it a while back and was so disheartened, but it has changed and it will for you too

Analeyn

That's a lovely idea Gypsy, and I am very tempted. But as I think there are breeders in a deeper rut than me *lol*, will see if some of them want to have first crack.

I have just bred some of my recently shown bitches around 95.20 -.30, and hope that they will produce for me.

Although my 95.55 girl has proved a dud so far, she has not even got a pup near her level. Shall keep trying to find the right stud.
