Some years back I was down at Gunsmoke kennels to pick out a pup. I asked Bill Holmes this question: "My intention is to trial this dog in shooting dog stakes. Do you think she will make it? "Yawallac wrote:Craig,
The beauty is that you can take most any "line" of Pointer and do anything you want with it. It has much more to do with the owner than it does the dog. Your dog's sire is by HTA bred to a Miller female. Your dog's dam is 100% Rebel (Dbl Whippoorwill's Rebel). That means that his pedigree is 75% All Age Horseback!
His answer was:
"She has the breeding and the conformation to be able to do just about anything you want her to do. What you make of her is pretty much up to you."
With a well bred, talented dog, I agree it is up to the trainer to make of them what they want.
