There was a study done with Dalmations, they used black Lab's and after 5 generations, the Dal's looked like Dal's, and not a trace of Lab could be found at all. But the deafness and other specific issues were cut out too. It was a good thing. A mild correction, they used English pointers...a very similar breed. You might want to consider a good German dog...the results are practically hybrids, since the pedigrees are totally different. . Syd SYD MAILBERG 23910 SE 276TH ST MAPLE VALLEY, WA 98038 Syd is right....... why go OUT of breed.....why not go with the same breed, but different lineage. There are good, and great German line show dogs out there.
