My mentor in protection dogs once told me that the most important dogs in a puppy's pedigree are the dam and the sire! Duh!

Thanks Michelle ---------------------------------- I answer; The things you have to remember about these formulas is that they are a tool for the toolchest not the answer to everything. And that it is important you use these formulas on dogs known to you for maximum success. One formula I use is the X Chromosome factor or Motherlines. I am very happy so far using this as a good tool. There is a lot more to it but If you are interested here is a starter course on the use of motherlines. http://www.westwindgsps.com/motherlines.htm Lissa soilentgrn@xxxxxxx ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2014.
