Just curious - For those who have been around a long time - what made the combination that Gilligan, Harrigan & Reno so popular and why was it people bred to the boys - especially while Lance was at stud? They were certainly outstanding dogs and were great producers, but was it their dam or what was it they reproduced.. Certainly had an impact on the breed.. Please don't bash them - just tell me why?
