Originally posted by Ron Bryant: Im just saying that at best breeding is a crap shoot the first time you put a male and female together. We humans just try to manipulate the odds. Then my question is, why would you want to stack the deck for a nerve problem by introducing Aly? I wouldn't take a dog with known temperment and nerve problems into any breeding program. Chances are you will end up with either a dog that can't cap it's drives or environmental issues. I like Fado a lot, but he's not enough to counter those potential issues.
A friend of mine and an experienced breeder has tried the Aly lines, and always ended up with disappointments, and it's always due to nerve issues.
To be honest, I had not heard that about Aly.
It might have made a differance, but being around Rico as I have I would probably try anyway.Ive worked Didi from the day I got her. Not just SchH but I also belong to a old KNPV, now PSA club. Lots of distractions, call offs, etc. Believe me ,once I learned her language she has no problems in caping , env. or anything else. So hopefully they will make a good match.

Ron,
When you are a very top end handler/trainer like Dean, you can take a dog that would be regional level at best and do fairly well in Nationals on a regular basis. I think this is one of Dean's greatest strengths....he gets *everything* out of the dog that can be had, which is something us mere mortals ususally can't do.
And we need to remember, many of the top-end handlers are handling someone elses dog there. They are being paid for showing that dog and the actual owner reaps the benefit of the stud services.
If you hadn't heard that about Aly though, then you should ask around some more. The majority of breeders I talk with that had used him brought him in to improve hips, then got hit with temperment & nerve problems (mostly nerve problems). They said the pups had drive for days, but had serious problems trying to control it or would chicken out if put into a "spooky" situation (sent into a building with poor lighting for a bite was one example given to me by one breeder that had a dog do this).
Good luck, and hopefully Didi's genetic strengths can overcome Aly's flaws. I would, however, recommend that if you keep a pup to work and end up breeding it, do NOT take it back into Fero lines.
Thanks Mike. I take all the advise I can get. I wouldnt go back to Fero after reading Ed's artical. As for Aly, I guess I have another to look out for. He has more than 200 progeny reg. on one site. I wish the sites had room to let you kThanks again
