But, he would have acutely looked at the pedigree suitability as well. Its clear as day, he did!

No worries Michael.

I had a look at it but only briefly when I posted the mating, and even flipped it upside down (Shaka's brother over Rioga's sister)....nothing obvious stood out to me but I'm pretty set in my ways these days, with a couple of recent successes for people with proven theories that still seem to be working.

So if she were my bitch I wld just linebreed her thru different individuals to the sire of a dog that was highly successful with her damline previously.

If you've gotta theory you can logically validate, then you've gotta try these things tho. So g/l with them. Cheers.

Half ya luck Nicholas, well done.

Sometimes it's as simple as that, fantastic inside information Nicholas. I always thought Wheeler's sire selection wasn't all this XY rubbish or other ridiculous breeding theories. A classic example of being wise after the event, like most of these self proclaimed experts are. It was as simple and as common sense as you stated.

If it wasn't for Striker Light there's no way Aston Rupee/Fastnet or kimetto would be by KC And All

It takes bravery to use a unproven outcross sire, but once that unproven outcross sire hits that sire becomes super popular very quickly. Hopefully for people that have used him sake Droopys Sydney is the same

See, you aren't as dumb as you claim to be. It's best if they prove themselves locally first. That's the crux of 2 or 3 rambling threads on here.

Things would get boring if there wasn't a majority of rambling threads on here

The reason SH Avatar is behind Bella ,Kc and Kinloch is simply put , they have a mind of their own !
One week they can be stars on the clock , the next 8 weeks they are staring at butterflies or hiding behind trees ?

They would be the most unique breed Ive come across . Yes when they are good they are good ! But reared enough to know their flaws outweigh the needed work input , for me that is !

Ps. The odds would be more in your favour using Magic spite , orson allen , beast unleashed , Aussie infrared, fabregas , Oaks road etc !

You're right. Unless you have a broodie from a Barcia bale son (eliminates Orson Allen, beast unleashed) that's from magic sprite damline (eliminates magic sprite and Oaks road) that carries a lot of bombastic Shiraz (eliminates Fabregas) and head honcho (eliminates Aussie Infrared), so she's absolutely screaming out for a outcross to hopefully reduce injuries

Not that my opinion counts for a huge amount, but I'd personally be playing it a little bit more safe

But no guts, no glory is another way of looking at your testmating. If it works out a masterstroke you've at worst got a nice broodie to work with

I'm not a fan of using squibby bitches, especially to unproven import sires. But there are far better experts than me on here that will give you a far more encyclopedic opinion. Good luck with her.

Along with a lot of linebreeding in there , more of a left field option as I get the feeling she could be a one off litter brood pending results .

Id have a little fun with the choice all things considered ..
