Cathy, Dixie was in excellent condition (still is & cardiology heart clear over the age of 5), with very sound structure, big melting eyes, correct size, long ear feathers, and superb temperament. Her only fault was mismarks but we still placed in CKCSC, USA and won in AKC. Transportation and divorce complications prevented a second breeding to the original stud dog because I had moved back to SC from Oregon. I had the opportunity to use my own black&tan which I had purchased because the bloodlines were the same instead of going to the outcross for a repeat breeding. I had planned on using the return service the following year. The wholecolor puppies I kept have placed and the ruby has recently won Best Bred by Exhibitor back to back under Hilary McQuaid and James McQuaid breeder/judges from England.I am very proud because I was competing primarily with particolors. The black & tan just gave a natural birth to 7 puppies (1DOA) with no complications whatsoever, so the uterine inertia, thus far, has not been carried down to the offspring. Thank goodness. Pat Trotter in "Born to Win" suggested not to use a bitch in your breed program that did not whelp easily or naturally so...when my vet suggested it was in her best interest, I agreed. Dixie is the Granddaughter of Salador Corrigan and Kindrum Alice. I have no regrets and I have two very nice bitches to carry me forward.
It would be nice to have the option to use the return stud dog for her offspring if he offered what either of them needed to improve the breed since he is heart clear and older. But I respect the decision the stud dog owner made. Thanks for the feedback. Patricia Powers Pratt Cavaliers -----Original Message----- From: Cathy J.
