You mention you don't care about pedigrees, but I posted Kasai's photograph to make (yet another) point about TRUTH in breeding.

Most members are familiar with my article The Truth on Mason's Ch Hammer. (It is recommended that any newcomer read this article first.)

Your dog, Patrick's Kasai, only serves to reinforce my article. The truth is, Cheryl Tiegs' true pedigree makes her bred almost like my Missy bitch, as Tessy was really Ch Hammer's sister from the first breeding.

If you change Kasai's pedigree to read as it should, you would see that (including Ch Bobby Jr., who is Hammer's half-brother, also off Reuben) Kasai is 25% Ch Hammer blood ... and therefore a veritable cousin to any of my Poncho/Missy/Ruby direct offspring.

These dogs are not true "Bolio dogs" ... but more Bolio/Carver dogs. This is another reason why my dogs went 5-0 against Patrick's "purebred" beauties, the Carver influence. It is the same reason Kasai produces on another level from the typical "new era" Bolio dog ... the addition of true Carver blood, through Reuben, at 3 different points in his pedigree. Patrick's Tessy is actually Reuben/Blitz (pure Carver). Bobby Jr. is also off of Reuben. Patrick linebred on Rick Rude and Black Beauty for a reason is Kasai ... he knows this and integrated them ... and it is also why these dogs were more expensive than his (fruitless) "Pinhead" type dogs.

Anyway, it may not matter to you, but IMO Kasai looks more like a Hammer dog than a typical Bolio dog ... and that is because he carries 1/4 "Hammer's siblings" in his pedigree

As someone who has run the line for nearly 3 decades, and spent thousands with Patrick, the Hammer dogs are simply tougher, gamer, scrappier dogs than the truly "pure Bolio dogs" Pat had (that didn't have Hammer). And, if you ask Pat, Cheryl Tiegs was his best bitch the last 25 years.

PS: Only the second brood bitch I ever bought, back in 1990, was a direct daughter of Cheryl Tiegs, named Rio, whom I bred to Truman. (The pedigree shows the ADBA breeding of Rio, not her true breeding.) Anyway, Rio didn't take after Tiegs at all, but one of my earliest breedings after that was to breed a daughter of Truman/Rio to Rick Rude (specifically to focus on Cheryl Tiegs to bring that out again) ... which produced (Dream Killer's Cuervo) ... who beat HOE in over an hour-twenty. So I've been pretty familiar with the Cheryl Tiegs/Hammer blood for a very long time now
