Show/working pedigree
« on: May 15, 2008, 12:13:54 PM »
I have a question which I'm hoping someone can help me with. I'm hoping this is the right section if not please move me ;)

After reading some of the posts in here I have looked at Ozzi's pedigree and am not sure whether he has a working line as well as a show line :-\

At 4 and 5 generation he has FT CH on his maternal grandma's side, but all the other lines (i.e all other grandparents) have SH CH ::)

Does this mean he is a show type? He doesn't seem to have very long fur at the mo but is only 14 weeks and was a bit underweight when we got him. Will this make a difference to the rate at which his fur grows :-\
I'm not bothered as we love him very much and he is an angel at the moment ( might regret saying that in a few weeks!) just interested.

TIA

It means he's a cross of the two. Mostly show type though. ;) You may find that as he gets older he has a bit more get up and go than most pure show types.

Sounds like my Louie, 1/4 of his lines are working and he has a low maintenance coat compared to the other two who are show type.  Appearance wise he's show-like except for the length of body hair. Termperament he is more worker though and all the running he does makes him lovely and lean  :D

Make the most of easy grooming he might get more as he gets older, Louie certainly has more coat now he's 2  :shades:

Post his pedigree if you want people to comment on which lines might be worker  ;)

Thanks Jenny I will make the most of the easier grooming :005: although his coat does seem to be growing quite quickly now, it is still short in comparison to others i have seen. He has a really laid back temperment at the mo - although this might change!
When you say post his pedigree, do you mean type all the names in? I might be being a bit slow, sorry, but i am new to this :005:

You can type in or scan and download to photobucket and post on this board here  http://www.cockersonline.co.uk/discuss/index.php?board=132.0

You'll be able to see if any other members have one with similar lines too  ;)

This is Louie now http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i180/jaspersmum/Louie/IMG_8781.jpg and when I introduced him http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i180/jaspersmum/Louie/P9260050.jpg
