Bloodline question?
Bloodline question?
Hey guys can you guys tell me anything about this bloodline? I know bloodline isn't everything but will the pups come out good hunters?

Re: Bloodline question?
The bottom side is impressive quite a bit I recognize. Direct Crackling tailspeed I buy up as much as I can find. Topside I don't know so I won't say anything.

Long gone I don't have any of it so I don't know the linepersonally. I'm sure they will hunt given proper exposure. Matron line is more important than sire in any breeding as far as I'm concerned.

Re: Bloodline question?
I see the name "Ryman" back a ways on the top side so I would guess the sire's breeding to be the "Ryman" type of dog. The bottom side is very good cover dog setter breeding. I would think they would hunt fine.
Re: Bloodline question?
thanks for the replies. The father was a ryman setter. he had a classic setter point, and large bone structure. the mother on the other hand was smaller and kept a 12oclock tail. As my pup gets older, its funny to see how much he is getting from the parents. For example, he has that large body build of his dad but keeps a high tail like his mom. So far im pretty happy with the dog.

Re: Bloodline question?
Here is a link about the Dam's father. I'd say your dog has some pretty good lines.

Re: Bloodline question?
thanks for the response. seems like the dame has a pretty good bloodline. the pup is almost a year old now and is doing everything i want it to like holding points, using his nose instead of just sight, and fetches. the only thing he hasnt gotten yet is backing.
