I'm following a thread about head numbers and have never seen a dog with 9.9 for head.
www.showdog.com/forum/read.aspx?id=755765 Just out of interest, if you have ever had one please could you reply with its link? |

Weird never thought about that... I just clicked through the top dog list. And didn't find a single dog any breed with a 9.9 in head. Neat. Will |

But yes, before the last reset, a lot of dogs have 9.9s in head. Will |

We have no 9.9 heads in english cockers, didn't realize it was among what seems to be all breeds. Must be a glitch. |

That is bizarre. I never thought about it before. I went through all the dogs n my 5 kennels and found nary a one... |

10 heads are commonplace in my two breeds -- Belgian sheepdogs and Boxers. They're more likely in breeds that emphasize head in the standard, as that's what breeders will focus on. |

OK, you guys got me interested -- I went WAY back through a random sample of my BS and Boxer pedigrees and sure enough, I didn't run across a single 9.9. Heads in the ones I looked at jumped from 10.2 to 10.0. Odd ... |

That is pretty weird and true actually. I recently developed a line of german spitz with 10 heads, however they jumped strait from 9.8 and 10.2 to 10. never got a 9.9 or 10.1. |

this post has been edited 1 time(s) Has anyone brought this to Jeff's attention? Perhaps there is/was a glitch in the current code or that which did the conversion at the last reset. There have been 9.9s in the distant past. If not, I just did so anyway. I'm really curious to hear the answer. ----- Last edited by gaylanstudio on 9/20/2017 1:47:14 PM |

Wondering if the 9.9/10/1 thing works with other traits? I've just bred a 10.1 coat when the breed is stuck at 10.2. |

this post has been edited 1 time(s) I have lots of 9.9 coated Airedales and 9.9 TNB cockers. It's possible other traits might be affected but not those two I think. It might be possible that other traits are stuck at a different number though - just sayin' (lol). ----- Last edited by GaylanStudio1 on 9/21/2017 10:45:04 PM |

I don't think heads are "stuck" as such, As there are lots of 9.8 and 10's. Just seems strange that so many in the breed have those numbers...yet never a 9.9. |
