Great weekend with the wife and friends

First of all, congratulations to you (and to the wife) on your accomplishments!

But second, I was researching your dog's pedigree and I saw an interesting factoid worthy of comment. Back a few generations is the dog Super Gnat's Gr Ch Ace (6xW).

What is so interesting about this dog is the fact he is off of a son of Honeybunch bred to a daughter of Gr Ch Zebo. Well, the great Honeybunch was once bred directly to the great Zebo, and it produced a litterful of crap. In fact, it is almost a proverb in the game to use the example of Zebo/Honeybunch as proof that "Best-to-Best" doesn't necessarily produce squat.

And yet I have always said that, if you get an initial disappointment by breeding two excellent animals together, if you stay with it, and if you re-shuffle the deck with additional breeding tweaks, you can still bring out the excellence once again.

So I just think it is an interesting factoid that Zebo/Honeybunch didn't produce squat ... and yet their son and their daughter bred together produced a Grand Champion

Cheers,

Jack

Yup I have this pups mother and will be taking her back to either Ace or Patch semen in December of this year. Can't wait!!!

Because Gnat was/is into horses he had the good sense to collect his bulldogs as well. Ironhead also

Like seeing that Hammonds blood in there. I don't know much about the other dogs there, but the color and confirmation of your dog looks like a Hammonds bred dog.
