Does anybody have any characteristcs, traits, or anecedotes about the B Litter(Bob, Barinja, Boi etc)Cega? Also does anyone know of any 2nd or 3rd generation dogs in America from this breeding. Clifton Anderson
I have a Barinja daughter, Avanti, and grandddaughter, I also saw Boj in 1994. This B litter was a very good one. My old Avanti is a very highly driven dog, choleric, very resilient to pressure, she was very civil in her young years and would do anything for getting an object thrown for her. If I could clone her I would <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> The closest "clone" to her lived in Finland, but unfortunately died recently. They bred her once, so they have a Barinja great-granddaughter that is very similar to her mother I am told.
Avanti was an excellent hip producer while her litter sister (also here in the US) was not. Temperaments varied from some that were very good to excellent working dogs, a few others that had nerve/environmental issues. Generally, the dogs from these lines are strong personalities, some inherit the strong drives, some lack a certain amount of hardness, which all needs to be considered when making breeding decisions.
Thanks Isabel for the information. My bitch is also very driven. Wonderful trustful personality but her drives are extreme! She has a big red ball that she will push with her nose, once she gets the ball into the woods she will go through ANYTHING to push that ball always resulting in a bloody mouth but tail wagging just as happy.She is very steady on all surfaces and is extremely fast to the sleeve with NO slow up at contact. Her problem is sometimes she gets so worked up she is hard to control especially in tracking. Not handler hard but willing to do anything for toy or ball or tug. Very good with small children.

Sounds like she tracks like Avanti did LOL I would be careful with that ball, they can grind their teeth down to NOTHING with such toys. My old "granny" has all her front teeth worn to the gum.
One thing that really impressed me with Avanti when she was young was her total, 100% environmental soundness. You could send this dog, by herself and off-leash, at 11 months of age, into a dark, Halloween decorated horse barn (this was a fun tournament), a place she had never been before, over all kinds of obstacles after the decoy, and all she knew back then was to bite...and that she did, no questions asked. Bite, thrash, fight, chase the guy down, her favorite thing to do LOL She was a little crazy......
I have been wondering and would be interested in looking at studs that go back to the B litter Cega..... if there is one out there that I like I would love to try and breed one of her daughters and try such a linebreeding. But, is one out there that has all the factors that would be right for a breeding.
