SEPT 29
I have spent a few hours pawing over bloodlines and possible bloodlines--- before I. go too much further—I must admit.... I do like harlequins.... that is what I tried to breed long ago before I ever startred with service dogs.
Going to the great dane club of america’s color chart... I find that totally accurate when compared to the litters of 326 danes I have already had...so therefore
. AND HOPEFULLY ATTACHED
There ... that ought to give you some homework to do. Clearly breeding black to black they predict.. and we got 100% black
BREEDING BLACK TO HARL THEY PREDICTED 49%BLACK. 33% HARL AND 17% MERLE. ... WE GOT 50.. 26.. 24. PRETTY CLOSE. NO WHITES...
IT IS HARL TO HARL WHERE OUT OF 44 OF THAT CROSS THEY PREDICTED 25% WHITE AND WE GOT 16%. BUT WITH 40% HARLS...
THEY PREDICT AND WE NEVER HAVE HAD A WHITE IF ONE PARENT WAS BLACK. NOT THAT WHITES ARE BAD—THEY JUST TAKE SPECIAL PLACING...?? ARIOT???BAILEY??? HAD WONDERFUL LIVES
BUT BELIEVE ME... THERE WILL BE SOME WHO WANT TO KNOCK WHAT WE DO --- WHO WILL TELL THE WORLD WE DO NOT KNOW WANT WE ARE DOING.
WELL I THINK WE KNOW AS MUCH AS IS POSSIBLE... DEALINGWITH ANIMALS IS A CRAP SHOOT IN. THE FIRST PLACE
HAVING DONE OUT THE 8 GENERATION PEDIGREE OF CAPRI AND BETSY... THESE ARE THE FEMALES THAT GO BACK TO THE LUNA THUMPER BLOODLINES THAT HAVE BEEN SO SUCCESSFULLY TESTED.
BOTH BLACK,,, I THINK – AT THE MOMENT..... I CAN CHANGE MY MIND BY THE MINUTE...... I THINK TIGGER IS THE BEST CHOICE FOR BOTH... WITH TIGGERS FATHER.. WATSON AS BACK UP
THIS WOULD MEAN THAT CAPRI’S PUPS LIKE THE CHRISTMAS LITTER NOW... ALL NICE DOGS... HAVE NO DUPLICATION UNTIL 5TH GENERATION OUT AND BETSY’S PUPS FATHER AND GREAT GRANDFATHER WOULD BE TIGGER...
WHERE HAVE I DONE THIS BEFORE ON PURPOSE OR ACCIDENT...????
WORST- THUMPER BRED HIS DAUGHTER BY JUMPING 6 FOOT FENCES TO PRODUCE BUMPY WHO WAS A SUPER FATHER TO AT LEAST 5 LITTERS....
BENTLEY HAD THUMPER AS GRANDFATHER AND GREAT GRANDFATHER
NOEL HAD THUMPER AS FATHER AND GRANDFATHER—AND SHE WAS SIZZLES MOM.
THERE IS DARN LITTLE DUPLICATIONS IN THE 8 GENERATIONS—ALL THUMPER STARTING 5 AND 6 GENERATIONS BACK. WITH 8 TOTALLY UNRELATED IMPORTS
ALSO IGNORING THE FACT THAT WALTER AND SCARLOTT WERE BROTHER SISTER.
THERE IS NO SHORTAGE OF NEW GENES.... SO EVEN THUMPERS HIGH JUMP WS NOT A PROBLEM.
NOW IF YOU WANT TO FUSS .. BMW KENNEL—MANY AKC AWARDS/WESTMINSTER ETC... BRED MY “TIFFANY” TO HER GENETIC BROTHER. – SAME FATHER. MOTHERS WERE SISTERS TO PRODUCE MABELINE
WHO BEGAT PIPI WHO STARTED ALL THIS.
I HAVE THEIR HANDWRITTEN 10 GENERATION PEDIGREE WITH LOTSA QUESTIONS. LAURA (BMW). LECTURED ME ON INTRODUCING PROBLEMS INTO ”YOUR” LINE.
NOW 1996 OF YOU ARE BORED AND 4 ARE GOING NUTS STUDYING THE DETAILS
