I personally think you're wasting your opportunities by not going one generation further away from Woody. Woody was a great dog but he had some flaws too. By using Inti (who'll be 10 yrs on 28th Feb) instead, you'll get that generation further out from Woody, you'll get the NZ lines and you'll get the European/American lines. Both of Inti's parents naturally used the wind intelligently. Woody had to have it drilled into him by Leon. I think that Woody, like Sharnberry Shooter in the past, would come more into his right as a grand-sire - - if bred right. Most of the NZ blood has already been lost. You should grab what's left of it when you have the chance, which also opens up to more options next time around!

Is there just to much Woody now? He would be in almost every nz dog now.
There are a few other options about that need to be used.
Welcome FT. Will you be bringing back another setter?
