I was blessed with this pup from a buddy of mine who has her littermate brother Magicman. I am just getting back into the swing of things and not real sure what way to take with her. In your opinions what way would you go? Shes Mayday/Boyles on top and heavy inbread Frisco on bottom. All comments and opinions welcome.
Thanks in advance.

Do you see what I am getting at? A lot of people look at the "papers" to see which way to go in a breeding, and what I am doing is getting you to examine the traits of the bitch, and how close they are to what you want?
So how close is this bitch of yours to being "the perfect match dog" in your eyes :wink:

Good answer!
Thanks Jack,
You're welcome, but I was inviting your participation
Tell me honestly what it is about this bitch that you really like? What don't you like? Where do the traits you like come from in her pedigree?
I don't know these answers, because I don't know the dogs involved, but if you do know the answers to these questions, then clarifying them will help direct you to which way to go in breeding her.
If you don't know the answers to these questions, then you're just gambling and not breeding with a sense of direction.
I am trying to help give you the sense of how a true performance breeder breeds, versus an amateur, and that has to do with breeding for specific traits.

Honestly shes not quite 7 months so i havent had a chance to look at her but she still acts like a puppy as for her dad havent seen him go but everybody that has has said hes game as far as how deep i dont know and dont know what traits he was showing or how he is as a producer other than my buddys got 3 dogs on his yard off of yellowman, 1 being a belly brother to my bitch and all are looking good but are all under a yr so havent been looked at deeply. The mom i realy dont nothing about so cant tell you honestly just liked how she looked on paper.
Sorry for the lack of knowledg but i am a rookie and am just getting started.

Like you said yourself, its just a pup. I think if you are "a rooky", breeding is one of the last steps you take. The best of luck, you're in the right place.
What R2L said.
Enjoy your dog, get to KNOW, truly KNOW, your dog. Learn more of her lineage and don't worry about breeding anyting until much later. When you KNOW more about your dog/dogs themselves.
Ok thanks yall i appreciate it
