Well sir I believe that If you are line breeding a dog several generations DO count, if the dogs are proven and bred in to their old age they will be into several decades at that point.
I have several dogs on a list of "good dogs" that I may want to look into further, maybe one day when the time comes If I had to go buy/trade for a dog, where /who would I start looking and talking to . These are dogs I have researched information about , admire, and even though they are not mine, could say nice things about. Like Tweety for instance. I do own a Tweety pup, Thanks to Mike for that. All I am saying I have hunted behind her for many years, I dont claim to have any credit in her breeding or existance but I admire her as a dog, the fact that her ancestors could be traced back several decades and to know that her ancestors were purposely bred to be working dogs for all those years, and she was not an accident or a "free" pound dog, road side dump dog, just made me proud to know that much more about her and her breeding and the work and efforts of all the people that went into a dog like her.
I heard from a credible source that Boogie dog was impressive, and sparked my curiosity and well thats what I do when I want to learn, is ask questions. plain and simple from an admiration point of view, what does it matter what my hobbies are?
some people like to drink beer, I don't I find other stuff to do with my time that interests me, might seem weird to some but I call it research to understand about dogs behaviors. History does repeat itself.
In Tweety's case I learned about some other bloodlines that were connected that may help with future endeavors, back track and retrace the bloodlines like a street map, and found some common ancestors in dogs I am already familiar with. It was a lot of time spent doing it.
That sir is why is matters to me, maybe not mean a dern thing to anybody else in the world.
Oh it definately means something to me also. I know how much u enjoy researching dogs. Didnt mean to hit a soft spot.
