Re: Possible Future Breeding/Your Thoughts?

Thanks for the input, but we aren't looking for any ideas on what to breed to. This is the breeding we are going to make. We only have room to keep 3 from the breeding so our goal is to see if anyone might be interested in something from this breeding. Thanks, SCK

Phillip's White Twist seems to have great style for a Miller dog. My personal experience with the Miller dogs which is limited to a few is that they often point low in the front. I am ok with that as the ones I've had experience with are extremely hard working and darn good bird finders. SCK
