I like the fact that you can run a crossbreed in novice trials. I wish we would improve upon that by saying if the cross was beating everything else, that it could go on a limited register to be bred from with pedigreed dogs. obviously passing all the conformation tests etc. - a much better way to improve a breed. The best GSP I have ever seen wasn't registered, wouldn't you use that in your program if the dog was exceptional? Quickest way to improve a breed

Crossbreds can run in more than novice. They can compete in any minor (non-championship) trial. There's a open PS natural game trial coming up that's open to non-registered dogs.

You're just trying to get a rise out of me with that second part aren't you? You are talking about 2 separate issues in the same statement, unregistered purebreds and crossbreds and you know damn well F1 cross breds are useless producers.

Not at all bro. If I was a GSP nut I would have used this dog and put him under another name
