That's why when I made machobear I went back to the 25% formula. That was what the original macho was out of mayday and blondie. And it made this:
Far from cold. And the reason I took bull to yellow sassy was to get dogs to breed to Machobuck frozen semen to get dogs that are like machobear. You are right.. Too much buck and you get some cold, but add in hollingsworth with a 50% redboy jocko out and in my opinion.. No better dogs in the world. Mayday or hollingsworth add durability, but you haven't seen ability or finish until you seen a buck dog go. Machobuck times.. 18,22,28,31,1:27. The 1:27 was over in 39. So yeah.. Buck brings throat action with fancy dancing untouchable finish. Hollingsworth and mayday gameness and durability with some back end finish, the redboy jocko extreme gameness, air, head, .. All lines bring good traits. Trick is to put it all together, using different dogs of the same family harnessing what each strain brings to the table.
