((( THE TRUTH ABOUT MASON'S CH HAMMER )))

This is now getting to be way off-subject, but that really is a handsome collar.

Great stories and rundown, TFX, sorry I haven't been online much to comment.

I hope you don't mind, but I took the liberty of converting all of your pedigrees to this database

Much thanks!

Are the Reuben dogs known to be stubborn barkers?

[Officially Retired]

By God, some of them are!

Most of my stubborn barkers are actually my smartest and most-loyal dogs ... who only want to be in the house ... and are absolutely wonderful when they're the center of attention ... but are incredible pains in the ass when they're on a chain.

Others are rock-calm, period.

This is Smith & Walton's PB, who is the maternal grandsire to my CH Costello dog, and a direct son of Reuben to Kudo. Those of you who are familiar with Jack's line look at this dog who was born about 1986, and compare him to the CH Miagi dog. There is just a lot of similarity in them, a certain look that is very unique.

Wow never knew you were there to breed the dogs that produced Ch Shiver, and she is what % Poncho? I came up with 31.25% maybe my math is off. Congrats on YOUR dog CH Shiver

I have nothing to do with the CH Shiver bitch.

Hello there.

I am curious to know what, exactly, prompted this outburst?

I can't see where anyone insinuated having anything to do with Shiver's breeding here.

Let's see if we can keep things friendly

"as well as with my own Poncho dogs, such as Ch Red Bull and Ch Shiver."

Didn't intend to come off so rough. I will keep it friendly. I wouldn't consider a dog my own that I had no part in the selection process.

[Officially Retired]

I understand now.

I was thinking about Ch Red Bull, not Ch Shiver specifically. I totally agree that I had nothing to do with the selection process that created Ch Shiver. She just happened to be owned by the same guy who is friends with both TFX and myself, and is linebred off of heavy Poncho dogs. The point I guess had to do with the blood, and I certainly wasn't trying to take credit from you.
