I might be interested, and I would not mind making a cross with one of my females to Duke either, he is a good looking dog and built the way we like. Do you still have Cody? Dont remember if you said you did, but that would be a closer cross to Sadies line I would think. I believe you when you say Duke would be a good house dog, Sadie was an exceptional dog around the house and in the woods. God I loved everything about that dog!!!!
I do still have Cody, but with gas as high as it is, I would recommend breeding to one of his sons that is for sure producing pups, at his age, it's a crap shoot. I do want to get some more pups out of him real bad, but I would hate to waste your time and money if we didn't get any.
I think its worth a try. Hell, I would kill to be able to have Hank or Sadie around again, Sadie produced some good dogs and I would like to keep her blood and Hanks blood alive. My dad adored Sadie, so did my whole family, and I would love to see those dogs related to her someday. I may just have to make the trip one of these days.
