Thank you Mary-Anne - I think you understood the point I was trying to make. Lines and Linebreeding are more than one dog in 20 generations. Daphne Hereford Owner/Breeder Co-Owners/Breeders Kathy Carlton and Carol and Chelsea Riggins RIN TIN TIN Line Dogs www.HollywoodDogs.com --------------------------------------------- From: Mary-Anne <versatilegsds@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: Re: WHO IS BREEDING Date: Sun, 2 Feb 2014 18:59:17 -0500 My dogs trace back to Horand von Grafrath...Should I be mentioning this when I start breeding? I totally agree with Daphne. The idea that just because one dog is in the pedigree is not a reason to flaunt the pedigree. This is why when we buy from Breeders, we look for the pedigree – in Germany, the Kirschental lines or the Bad-Boll lines...but to flaunt one dog is just posturing for the ignorant. But then again, my lines go back to Horand....I’m sure my guys are very extra special because of that (please note: tongue in cheek!)
