Congrats on the lovely pups.

Have to admit I am getting frustrated, have FHed most of my last 11/12 litters, only kept a 95.75 bitch and a low SS theoretical 96.00 bitch. Even going outside has not succeeded.

Thanks to Gypsy Wind for selling me "Gypsy Winds Mover and Shaker".

Congrats on the pups, Analeyn! I hope my boy keeps on producing. And Lycaons, I will definitely breed to your boy with the 9.5 size once he is old enough.

Don't get frustrated Aussie. You can only go up from here! I think all the kennels go through a slump at some point.

Good morning,

Could yall please tell me what the finishable SOP is? Whats the highest?

Would anyone be willing to part/lease a good broodie to get me started?

Thanks!
MudBugs

Hello MudBug! I think the current highest SOP is 96.30 and most of the dogs/bitches showing right now are 95.70 and up. There are a few with 94 SOP that are showing as well.

In a couple days, I can send a personal message with some bitches. Saturday is when most of my litters happen.

^ What Winterheart said about SOPS I'd agree with. I'd be happy to sell ya a broodie to get ya started. If you want to look through my girls, just pick one that isn't a champion, currently being sessioned or currently pregnant and you can have her. I also am expecting 8 litters in the next few days and am at just about show capacity so I'll keep you in mind if anything else whelps. WElcome to keeshonds

Mud, if you want, have 2 new girls, one of whom I'd consider finishable.

Still looking for a 9.9 in head or coat. Ive seen 9.9s in stats in other breeds, so I know they exist...

I used to have a 10 head in this breed but I accidentally forever homed her a long while back.

Here was the dog that had the 10 head: www.showdog.com/dog.aspx?name=Ch%20DutchCk%20Panther

It's so weird that the traits for head and coat are stagnant on this breed. Normally they move pretty quickly in other breeds.

I got this boy quite a while ago. I managed to keep the 10.00 head going for 3 generations, then lost it, and have not been able to get one since.

Mmm, so they do crop up every now and then. I havent even seen a 9.9 in my lines or anyone else's for a long time.

Apparently 3 generations of my dogs had 10 heads out of that boy Aussie posted and I accidentally FH Boots wit da fur. Kinda mad at myself lol.

Actually it wasn't Yarikh who started the 10.00 head, it was his dam who was first in line, from combined PPKees and Dutch Creek lines.

My lines started from Dutch Creek and PPkees. Maybe a 10 will pop up again somewhere in the future.

Id settle for a 9.9 just to prove there's some progression here!

Welcome MudBug!

I'm a little late - but better late than never Let me know if you are still looking for anything!

The elusive 9.9/10 traits - I have been wondering the same for a while. Very strange not to see a progression. I have been checking every puppy for a long time now for special traits, but I haven't yet come across one unfortunately.

Analeyn

Haven't got much out of the last six litters .... but this boy with 9.6 FQ (95.95 SOP).

Some of his other traits aren't so good unfortunately, but hopefully he will be useful for breeding. I really need to start working on Gait and TNB in my lines I think.

His mother's second 9.6 FQ in two litters, very pleased with her.

Who're the popular studs right now? I feel like our stud list is still not quite reflecting the jump into the 96's very well.

My 96's are just now getting breeding age, but most of mine in that range are girls. I had a run of crappy boys for a while. I do have a couple of 96+ boy pups though, they'll be up when they're ready.

And my brag is that American Dream when BIS last night, Wesley Eubanks likes his Kees!
