breeding bird dogs?
« on: January 15, 2004, 03:11:39 PM »
I have a 4 year old female gsp great temperment,eager to please and is from some pretty good lines,How ever the man i got her from has had a few heart attacks, and hasnt hunted her in 2 years, she became his wifes dog.She will sight point and has a real good nose on her, but just dont have much field time, the breeders of this female has moved to ohio and i cant find them to ask about their sire and dam.I f i breed this female to a proven titled sire what % of his bird ability be passed on the the pups.She is a real small roan/liver with very few itcks on her.Just what im looking for as far as size and color goes.Will the sire and dam pass equal traits to the pups,would it be worth trying :?

:D Puppies receive half of their genetic background from each parent. If you have AKC papers they can do a pedigree for you if you want to find out ancestry.
