Pro's and con's on bmc/bird dog cross....

I have some experience with alot of diffrent bird crosses. Most being crossed with elhew.

Pros...lots of go, stamina, nose, confirmation. Never have to worry about them staying at your feet. Good disposition and willingness to please. Easy to train and correct. Can be sensitive to the hand really only have to correct by voice.

Cons....when young alot of them have more fun running first turnout then hunting. Young does liable to hit a dirt road and just run it. Loss of stock bred genetics with F1 cross.

The best crosses ive see are when the bird dog has been bred down to a 1/4 or less.

Just dont bred any ol bird dog....find you a nice pointer with the traits tou want. Elhew seems to work the best.

I have some dogs that been bred back and forth together for a while and im very pleased with them.
