Hey Ken, how ya' doin'????
I looked all over the country, talked to far too many people about specifics on about five different stud dogs that I knew, had seen run, knew the owners, etc. and finally, after about a 6 month search decided to breed her to my own dog, TrueBlu's Jedi Master. Yoda is a nice big Shooting Dog with tons of style. He is just over two and will be run this year in broke stakes, Shooting Dog and All Age. Yoda is one heck of a birddog but has proven to be as biddable as any dog I've bred. Since he is nicely linebred Greif he lines up well as an outcross to Callie, FC Slick's Cajun Desire, a Moesgaard female out of NFC Heide's Mighty City Slicker, producer of FC TrueBlu's Hud's Kickin Up Dust. As you know, I have some nearly overly tight criteria, conformation, style, stamina, speed, gait, trainability, BIRDDOG, and temperament. I couldn't find all of that in the dogs I considered, 'cept for Yoda. Callie is due around Sept. 5. Looking forward to these pups!! Been pouring new slabs and buying kennels getting ready. Should be fun. With pups coming, nationals in just over a month, and a few trials prior to, it's kind of busy in north Texas for us. W road dogs at 10 pm or 4am each day, so with work, kids, and dogs, we aren't getting much sleep.
