    a winner doesn't just mean pigeon trials.a consistent winner is a dog that can take instruction and has ability over others probably
    Tweed or not to Tweed that is the question

    I think it shouldn't be discussed here. I will never breed closer than grandparents... others will.. we can slag each other off till hell freezes over.. it won;t change what we do and will waste bandwidth with a wanky argument... or is that what you want???

    I took a few squeakers about 20km from home yesterday, released them out side Ormond by the riverbank for their first flight.

    Of the ten that went, six came back, including the three ash red males who are good strong flyers. These all obviously home back, the others that didn't come back obviously don't

    Thats my take on breeding

    I would certainly consider them also Pointer !!! You have read alot about breeding programes and have read Tessios writings I believe ??? Ruff wont breed closer than Grand parents -is that an accepted standard ?

    I dont think Leon would have made a decision to breed from a dog if he didnt think it was the rite thing to do
