I bred Red Angel to Poncho's uncle Truman ... and (later) bred her to Poncho twice.

Almost all of the pups out of the Truman litter were garbage, and it made me sick, so I spayed Red Angel because she just wasn't "fastlane" material ... and, sure enough, literally almost every dog off of her and Poncho was an A-Caliber animal, I mean they were some of the best dogs ever off Poncho ... I had sold them all ... and now couldn't make the breeding again because she was spayed :cry:

Same thing happened with Little Bootie (Truman/Rio): Little Bootie stopped a bitch in a hard roll in :42, so I bred her to Poncho. Later, Bootie quit to another bitch, so I spayed her and gave her away to a family. Sure enough, Poncho again produced some fantastic animals bred to Bootie, including Wild Red Rose, who ultimately became one of the most important core bitches behind some of the greatest dogs of this line who ever lived.

Wish I would have bred Bootie to Poncho forever
