You can and it happens all the time in nature. It is called "convergent evolution" and look it up. How many times did flight evolve? or why is a shark shaped very much like a killer whale and yet one is a mammal and one is NOT.Birddogz wrote:Can you arrive at the same place by starting at two different places genetically?

Re: Field trial GSPs
I understand about convergent evolution. I teach it. A Killer whale's fluke moves anterior to posterior. A shark moves laterally back and forth. Big difference. I can see the shape and structure being similar, but not the exact look of a dog. That I believe takes cross breeding. Not saying that it is a bad thing, just that it is my hunch that it has occurred. There are GSPs and Pointers that look almost identical. If the tail wasn't docked, they would look like litter mates.

Re: Field trial GSPs
This is how I understand it:
You have a litter and register it. It comes time to DNA a puppy and you send it off. The AKC sends back and says the sire has a DNA profile but the dam has no profile on record and you will need to have the dams DNA collected to complete the process. The dam has died since having the litter and you can not collect her DNA. The AKC says if that is the case you can have a DNA # for the pup but it will have a "Q" or limited registration because the parents can not be traced using their DNA.

Re: Field trial GSPs
In the grand scheme of worldwide biodiversity - I would say they are quite similar considering the tremendous difference in their actual phylogeny. Two dog breeds on the other hand remain the same species, and are certainly not directly comparable anyway as domestication is not natural selection. But the point remains. You can get similar traits from different origins. You can also cross breed dogs since they are still the same species and similar enough to produce offspring. As to whether it was actually done? Are people honest? Are married couples faithful? Are breeders ethical?

My dogs are FT dogs look at the peds in my sig. I have heard it all from the clown pup being larger than the others in his litter to other "trailor" breedings.Here ya go
As I said, who started these rumors? was it the guy that lost and is a poor looser? Know what you are buying and from who.

No. Q means a dog does not match parents on file. You do not have to have any ancestors profiled to obtain a DNA profile.Crestonegsp wrote:This is how I understand it:

Of course they had all of the people who could tell the difference respond and the funny thing was no one could tell. No one came close to getting the twenty I think it was right. The point is you can't tell anymore from just looking. But it was quite an eye opener though many of the diehards just couldn't come to grips with the fact that they couldn't tell which was which.

Re: Field trial GSPs
It has nothing to do with breed. Ask Ferrell Miller. It is about putting the wrong dog down as a parent on the litter nomination/registration.

Because of the ILP (?) provision it would be impossible to have these dogs excluded from competition, even at the highest levels. There is no reason right now why an ILP dog could not win the AKC Natl. Gun Dog Championship is there?
What I don't understand would be the AKC's waffling on the stud book issue and excluding the dog from the breed pool.

Re: Field trial GSPs
Miller's name is on the dog. He gets the stigma.
Same thing here, you've got a NC called out on bad papers. Only difference is the dog has not been named.

Re: Field trial GSPs
That is incorrect. The particulars of what ILP/PAL dogs are allowed to compete in is available on the AKC site. You can get an OTCH or HC on a PAL. They are excluded from Conformation and both Pointing Breed and Retriever Field Trials.Dave Quindt wrote:ILP dogs are excluded from competing in competitive events, including field trials.slistoe wrote: There is no reason right now why an ILP dog could not win the AKC Natl.

Re: Field trial GSPs
OK, hunt test only. Thanks. So what is the deal then? The Field certainly does/did not show such tolerance. Nor should they. There were a lot of folks who found themselves with unregistered dogs from the Online debacle.

Re: Field trial GSPs
For starts, The Field does not have a DNA requirement for frequently used sires. As I mentioned previously, the vast majority of parental discrepancies are discovered when a stud dog falls under that requirement, which is three or more litters in a year or seven lifetime.slistoe wrote:OK, hunt test only.

Re: Field trial GSPs
And how does that make the discrepancy any different? Dogs should be unregistered until proper parental documentation can be provided. Then they are re-registered with the correct information - or not if the correct information does not meet registration requirements.Cajun Casey wrote:For starts, The Field does not have a DNA requirement for frequently used sires.

In fact, take away the docked tail, and they would be almost identical. Have GSPs been crossed with EPs to make them run bigger, or is this just breeding? The Roman nosed GSPs of 30 years ago seem to be almost another breed. Just curious if GSPs are DNA tested as to their lineage. If they have been crossed, it doesn't make it a bad thing. A good dog is always a good thing.

I agree. If a dog is shown to be incorrectly registered, everything should be suspended which is associated with that dog's birth litter, that dog and its progeny.slistoe wrote:And how does that make the discrepancy any different?

It is, however, at the discretion of the governing body as to how to handle it.

Re: Field trial GSPs
That may be true across the entire AKC stud book, but based on the few dozen cases I'm aware of, I don't believe that's true of sporting breeds in general and GSPs in particular. In fact, I'm not aware of any cases where the frequently-used sire program resulted in finding a parentage issue.Cajun Casey wrote: As I mentioned previously, the vast majority of parental discrepancies are discovered when a stud dog falls under that requirement, which is three or more litters in a year or seven lifetime.

Re: Field trial GSPs
Maybe you ought to talk to AKC. The person I spoke with said over half their suspensions resulted from DNA being submitted under the frequently used stud requirement. That included both litters sired early in the dog's career and non-matching parents on the dog himself. I'd have to look in the Gazette, but I believe 10 - 12 litters a month are suspended.Dave Quindt wrote:That may be true across the entire AKC stud book, but based on the few dozen cases I'm aware of, I don't believe that's true of sporting breeds in general and GSPs in particular.
