Ch. Steigerhaus Bo Jackson son, but I know he wasn't. I would have to say "Bo Jackson", followed by Sel. Ch. Riverdell's Black Ice. These 3 dogs stole my heart. Even though my "Storm" was not a champion of record, he was a champion in my heart and to all that knew him. I will never forget the applause he received at the 2 nationals he was shown as a Veteran. He loved everyone he met and was a great ambassador of the breed along with Bo & Tristan.

I think there are many breeders who don't know the dogs in their own American pedigrees very well. Sometimes the information one needs is difficult to acquire.

Part of the problem with using the German dogs is not the dogs themselves - it's that there are very few people in this country who really know the European pedigrees well enough and far back enough to make an educated breeding decision. I've run into quite a few folks who think they have the knowledge but less than a handful who truly do.

Then use that same scrutiny when choosing her mates, complimenting her strengths, overcoming her weaknesses both phenotypically and genotypically, To do this you must understand both her and the studs pedigrees in depth(a minimum of five generations, and their litter mates if possible) . ===========================================================================POST is Copyrighted 2010.

What kind of a indicator of temperament is the CGC or the TC when dogs have to be "prepared" before they take it? That just blows my mind (what little I have left!) My dogs pass the test COLD TURKEY, period. That is like giving all the test answers to the kids before they take the test! Sure they can pass it that way. It is sure no indicator of the dogs NATURAL temperament.

This is a good thing. Many people would not pass a CGC, not because their dog in dangerous or vicious, but because they never learned the rudiments of obedience training. I know that my dogs would pass a CGC without further training, as would most of your dogs, but for many, this is a new experience for them. To actually have their dog walk quietly on lead, do simple obedience... they just have never done it. Many, I imagine, go on to more training.

Date: Fri, 3 Sep 2010 21:49:37 -0400 We've talked about every color except the most common--black and tan. From what I know of him, I liked the "YO" dog--CH Pinebeach's Stars and Stripes. I also liked Andretti, Polo, Jed, Vance, and Scoop. But my favorite black and tan male is Rolf (GV Honky Tonk Man) and my favorite black and tan bitch has always been the lovely CH Amber's Flair.
