Next we have Basso, Oksby Basso, Pointer dog by Toften's Chris X Oksby Blanka. When I wanted to top up the continental blood in my breeding programme one of my first ports of call was The Dansk Pointer Klub website and in the rotating banner advert was Kennel Oksby. Since Oksby Fly featured in my line already I contacted them and bought Basso. The whole Oksby crew were extremely good to me over this deal and while it wan't all plain sailing at the start I'm now extremely pleased with Basso. Basso has been bred from a long line of dogs used and appraised in a different way from my dogs and it has taken all my expertise to bring him to fruition. He's isn't a great backer, I suppose because he is so seldom beaten to birds but I continue to work at this.
Basso is a dog that causes a lot of head sctatching on my part. He's seven years old and has no awards. Yes there has been some average work, even a little bad work but I am ever hopeful. He did some amazing work in Yorkshire last month and still didn't mamage anything. Even so I like him a lot.
