She sounds like a perfect corso, any faults?
Luz and Santana are great. They are enjoying the recent travels across the southwest U.S.
They are currently at my sisters house in Texas while we close on our new house in Colorado.
As for Elly, no she is not with me. She is in California with a good friend of mine.
Cody, please tell me where I defend hyperype? I have never defended hypertype, ever. I have never stated that hypertype is the way to go, and anyone in the CC world that knows me, knows I do not prefer hypertype.....If you somehow read it as me defending hypertype, then I am sorry to have confused you. How am I going in polar opposites? I haven't bred anything....
If you are referring to my dogs. I will be the first to say that Santana is not my ideal male, but I know what he has and what he doesn't. I am aware of his faults, and have an idea of what direction to go with him, should I ever decide to use him. Which are reasons why I have not bred him to Luz as many people wanted me to. His working drive alone is a plus though......As for Luz, again, she is not perfect, but I am very aware of her faults. I would love to see her with just a tad bit more bone, a little tighter around the face, tighter eyes, and a better tail set.....I love both of their temps, and awesome working drive. Just wish I had more time to train with a working club. Will be looking into a local one as soon as we get settled in the new home. Both Luz and Santana have tight reverse scissor bites, and neither one of them are retracted in the nose. Santana a bit round in the eyes and head. Now for Elly, she was brought in for a reason, her working drive.....yes, she is not a huge female, but we know what is behind her, and we know what direction we want to go with anything that is produced from her. Just as the old Italian farmers of the South had different CC for different "jobs", so do I....LOL...but there is a plan to bring it all together way down the line. As you know that takes years of planning.
As for what I want in the future, well you will see in a few years when I have a generation or 2 under my belt. Until then, I will continue to study them, study lines, crosses, outcomes, etc.....Hope I answered your questions or at least cleared it up a little. If you have any other questions feel free to email me. I think we pretty much hijacked this thread.
