Thread: Intelligent bloodlines

  1. #11
    My own dogs are the smartest I have ever been around. They are ringwise, tractable, and overall have good judgment. They will not hit everything that moves, are generally good with puppies, and are just a pleasure to be around. I have owned lot of dogs from a lot of different lines since my first in 1986, bred a fair number since 1990, and have not.had any finer than I have right now. Stupid dogs never had a place in.our program, and neither have dogs with questions as to their quality in any regard. We have moved out "yard baser" animals that many people would have been happy with because they had something about them that was not up to the standard. When you do that long enough, you end up with dogs that you really like on a very consistent basis.

    No need to apologize here, Jack and I are both OFRN fanciers as I am sure many others are. Here is one of the most durable, and certainly one of the gamest dogs to ever look through a collar. She descended from "show lines", but she was so straight bred on a good Hemphill-Clouse foundation that she still had it all.






    This bitch had dozens of hours of time on her. She quit many, and stayed with many others who were much more talented than her without ever making a bad move. And yes, she had human-like intelligence.

    Good post! Yep, OFRN dogs are smart as hell ... I just wish someone would have kept them game as hell too

    My Red Angel (who I got back in 1989) stopped the brother of the dog that killed Truman (yep, she whipped a male and she spotted him weight to boot). She also stopped a double-bred daugher of Garner's Lever Red in :15 that was supposedly "game tested." Red Angel was a superb ear dog, who would also go to the throat and the kidneys.

    I bred Red Angel to Truman and only got 1 good dog out of 10, Red Magic.

    I bred her to Poncho and got 10 out of 10, an all-A-caliber litter. Over 16 wins came from that breeding.

    That's a very nice bitch, some good old blood there!

    Here is her public pedigree --

    I like how she was bred, too bad there aren't any OFRN left like her.
    Common sense isn't so common these days.

    Maudie had an indominable spirit. She went over an hour at age 14. I tried to breed her several times and never got pups. I loaned her back to her breeder in between my efforts, and she had a couple of pups for them. She cycled oddly, and in hindsight I think progresterone testing would have solved my troubles. This bitch's endurance, durability, and gameness really needed to be experienced to be believed. She was a total freak of nature in that department even though she was a mush mouth that had a silly style. That goofy style totally frustrated and confused other bitches.
