These sound like AKC dog's?
Quote from: Don Fischer on January 24, 2014, 05:12:22 PMThese sound like AKC dog's?More extensive pedigrees would probably be helpful.The bitch sounds like she's mainly H0nky Tonk and Fiddler blood with some GoBoy splashed in there. Attitude was a 9 time NBHA champion and Joe Shadow is a hall of famer. If memory serves NSTRA guys are heavily into H0nky Tonk stuff and I want to say the same about Joe Shadow. Since both were male I'm guessing the potential dam is at least one or two generations removed from both??I have no knowledge of the sire other than what was stated.
Seen both the Clyde dog and the Flair dog run several times,both would be considered AF shooting dogs.Richard doesn't like me talking his dogs up so I'll leave it at this,they are nice dogs.I know where you guys are taking this,down the road that the bobtailed dogs are superior because they have a 125 dog nationals,don't make the 124 that lose any better than the 1 that wins a different breed national.Same kind of naysayer BS goes on with Southeastern AF CH winners are superior to Western states or prarie winners because of the lower pool of competitors.As Harold Ray once said in an AF Christmas issue......."A good dog is a good dog,whether it be a grouse dog,shooting dog or an all age dog"
Bud,I think you misunderstood, the competiton pool in the south is far bigger than in the west,The Egyptian has over 100 entries as a norm,Havelock Blacksmith won it with 125 dogs entered,To compare a western shooting dog Ch like the Pacific Coast or the Western open might have 35 dogs entered.The basic argument is that if there were more entries in the west the winners that win ............ would not win or are not worthy of the win that they got.
