Well, Poncho is the more famous dog, and his pups were being sold at a time when I was active (and the game was a lot more wide-open), so more of Poncho's pups got matched.
Both were WAY above-average dogs, of totally different styles: Silverback being deadly; Poncho being a long-distance dismantling specialist.
That your gyp did well is what these genes are designed to do:
well they pretty much kick ass wherever they get off the plane
Silverback was no producer? That's news to me
A 9-0 record,
in times ranging from :20 to 2:36, is a
100% win record. Hard to top that
Poncho had a lot more Champions, and a couple that won more than 5, but hell most of Poncho's breedings were outcrosses sold as match dogs.
By contrast, every single breeding I did with Silverback were line- and inbreedings, to highly-inbred Poncho bitches, so MOST people bought Silverback dogs as brood dogs
Not to mention the very fact that of ALL the freaking dogs I have bred, that I placed Silverback alongside Poncho on my avatar here ought to tell anyone with a brain what "I" think of Silverback
There is no way for me to answer "who threw better dogs," as Poncho produced more Champions ... but Silverback has a perfect, 100% win record, bred to Poncho bitches.
When I bred Poncho to Coca Cola, I got the baddest dog I have ever seen,
Ch Stormrbinger.
When I bred Silverback's father to Coca Cola's daughter, I got
Ch Vengence (cover dog and featured in an article, "Best Dogs I've Ever Seen," by the editor).
When Silverback himself was bred to a double-Poncho bitch, Sassy, this produced
PonchoBack, a freaking fabulous dog who outfought everything he was ever put on, and beat a
more devastating brother to a Grand Champion in 2:36.
"Tha Point" is they' BOTH were freaking great dogs in their own way, and threw FAR more high-quality dogs than what most people will ever be blessed to own ...
