Leanne, Thank you for the kind words. My foundation bitch is over 6 and heart clear, sire 9 heart clear, grandsire heart clear at 11 died at 16. Dam heart clear at 7 died 3 weeks before 10, grandam heart clear over 9 and died at over 13. My stud is over 4 and heart clear, 2 outside studs used over 5 and 9 heart clear with parents and grandparents clear over 6 years of age or later. My boy's sire heart clear at 5, grandsire is 7 and heart clear. It is my intent that my progeny will beat the odds, I hope the polygenes work with me on this:) Patricia Powers Pratt Cavaliers -----Original Message----- From: Leanne Bertani <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Thursday, September 26, 2002 1:37 PM Subject: Re: [CKCS-L] Breeding-Positive Results
