Thanks Sandy, I appreciate your response...Liz's post with the quote from
the Redbook really cleared it up for me...I have had a number of Redbooks but
I
had not bought any recently and I couldn't remember its actual "stated"
purpose; I guess what caught my eye was a post that came across as saying that
the Redbook showed the "best producing" sires/dams; whereas in my opinion, the
Redbook just was a listing of what was produced; by whom; and awards that they
had received; I certainly did not think that it was "supposed" to reflect
whether what was produced was necessarily an indication of quality or a ranking
of "best producing". However, I too, have always found it to be a good
source of information. Pauline

Unless you look at the number of breedings per winning (CH.) progeny, the ROM
does not really indicate just how good of a producer the parents are. (esp.
the sires)
Many of the "top producers" have been bred hundreds of times. The redbook
is useful but does not always giv e a true picture. (I have all of them
since the early
80s)
