Re: Favorite GSP Bloodline

I talked to Rabidou last night and asked him about why he had waited so long to use the straws on Koonas. In typical Rabidou form he danced around a bit and said that you need to wait a while and find just the right bitch before going back to it. When I said I thought usually a granddaughter or grea...

This may or may not be a little off topic, but the name dropping I'm sure does get irritating to those that actually are linebreeding on specific dogs and/or lines.

Ezzy, I agree that breeding to a line of dogs that exhibit similar traits or traits that you want to incorporate should be the ultimate goal. Breeding choices are not what I take issue with.
