30 yrs ago I bred to Gene Thurmond's (RIP) Cracker Jack dog. I see he eventually made ROM. That dog was bred to everything under the sun. Gene loved that dog and wanted nothing more but to put him on the map as a producer. I do not consider Cracker Jack a good producer per se. No disrespect and God Bless Gene's memory. In my opinion, as someone who has done nothing in the dogs, there are many factors. A couple being the amount of litters and where the pups end up. If the Tombstone x Red Baby pups ended up in pet homes, we wouldn't be talking about that breeding today. If a dog gets bred hundreds of times, of course he'll eventually produce. To me, a dog that had been bred to 2 or 3 times and has a few solid winners on the ground is much more valuable as a producer as opposed to an ROM that gets laid every night. The title does not necessarily depict the storyline.
