Tonellis Rising Sun and line breeding
So heard a RUMOR, some breeders are hesitant to heavily line breed on Sonny because his sire, Tabasco, wasn't a natural pointer, took tons of work to get to point, even then was pretty poor at it, and finally titled due to shear will.
Complete true? Partially true? Not true?

You may have crossed the line.

I think it's a fair question if the poster truly doesn't know. Hope some chime in that haves knowledge of the topic and not hear say. Myself, I don't have a clue. PM's might be propergreg jacobs wrote:You may have crossed the line.

Re: Tonellis Rising Sun and line breeding
Well, I have a friend that has a sonny sired and grandsired aa quality bitch. He has been tossing around different sires for the next litter and I mentioned getting a sonny straw (he'd be the sire, grandsire, and great grandsire would all be sonny). It was what I was told.greg jacobs wrote:You may have crossed the line.
Now either he's full of it or he's partially correct to it or he's right.
Btw, I'm not bad.mouthing sonny or saying he's an undesirable stud but, when you're going 3 deep of the linebreeding, you better know all the faults as well as the good. Frankly, if the worst thing that he had to say was about the sire, it kind of validates sonny.

Re: Tonellis Rising Sun and line breeding
The only people that are going to know one way or another are the FT people or breeders that have seen a lot of dogs. These people don't talk about other people's dog. Especially to strangers on a public forum.
I'm just sayin.

Re: Tonellis Rising Sun and line breeding
Alot of TRS get with championships. Cant get a Ch if you cant point a bird.
Once you actually get into the competition world you will learn there is an easy way to title a dog and the right way. Some dogs need to be competed the easy way to get the titles.

Re: Tonellis Rising Sun and line breeding
I know the difference between the right and easy way. I've sent it in both pointer and retriever trials. For example, I know a lower 48 pro that just took a truck of untitled retrievers to fairbanks alaska to trial there. I wonder why?RyanDoolittle wrote:Alot of TRS get with championships.

Look, the question is pretty simple... not going to hunt down Tabasco's last owners. I'm not going to play phone tag with Sonny's owners unless I decide that I want a straw.
I'm sure that somebody here has seen the dog or knows something that would confirm or refute what I was told.

Disclaimer: I know nothing of pointing dogs or Tonellis Rising Sun
I have read a few of your posts and I must say I am a bit confused. First you were trying to see if there would be interest in using a son of this dog as stud (which I thought meant you owned a son). Now you're almost muddying your own waters with this thread. I really don't understand your angle, but I agree with Greg, the people who you need to talk to are not going to be on an internet forum talking openly about it.

I know retriever trainers in the South that go to Alaska to train in the summer because it's hot down here and they can train much longer in mild temperatures. I don't know of any that go there to enter less competitive field trails or hunt tests. Which I assume is what you are implying....

The bitch is a classic linebreed on Sonny (sire and maternal sire).
If we dip into sonny's gene pool one more time, with the good, we're sure to get some of the bad. The OP was brought up as being the bad. I'm trying to hash out the validity of his concern.
If nobody knows or wants to talk about it, it is fine.

Re: Tonellis Rising Sun and line breeding
I'm not talking about pros going to summer camp. I'm talking about guys based in areas that would be considered summer camp states driving to anchorage and fairbanks to compete in the local retriever trials and nothing more.Grommet wrote:I know retriever trainers in the South that go to Alaska to train in the summer because it's hot down here and they can train much longer in mild temperatures.

Interesting. I've never heard of that but I guess it could be an easier path. But it seems to me if all the pros are heading north in the summer wouldn't it be more advantageous to head south to compete in the summer and not to Alaska. (Not trying to be a smartass just trying to think logically about how to make it easier to title a dog as I'm a big fan of the easy way.)

Re: Tonellis Rising Sun and line breeding
There are two guys in the Pacific Northwest that seem to be doing it regularly. I can give you the guy's number. He always seems to title a retriever or two up there every year.Grommet wrote:Interesting. I've never heard of that but I guess it could be an easier path.

Re: Tonellis Rising Sun and line breeding
There are probably many reason that breeders would not want to heavily line breed Sonny, I would also bet that it has nothing to do with how much "point" his sire had or didn't have.

Re: Tonellis Rising Sun and line breeding
When people try to deny the obvious (ie. Some will try to hunt out obscure or lightly attended event because they want a less competitive event) and label it as "causing troible", it is why the sport is going to die with the oldtimers.RyanDoolittle wrote:Grommet wrote:I know retriever trainers in the South that go to Alaska to train in the summer because it's hot down here and they can train much longer in mild temperatures.

Not trying to cause trouble. I have never trialed a dog in my life. Just seeking understanding as to why someone would do that. Seems the solution is you shouldn't be able to host a trial unless you have X number of dogs. Sorry to derail the OP.
