Bitcon Troubador
« on: February 20, 2007, 06:43:56 PM »
Hello

We've had Cosby for almost 3 years now, but it's not until we got Boo a coupl of months ago that I started getting interested in genetics and breeding.  Probably because our new pup comes from a good breeder and Cosby was a bit of a naive purchase (I know, don't shout at me).

Anyway, in Bitcon troubador is in Boo's pedigree and it's a name I've see many times.  Since joining this site (I'm a newbie) I have been looking through the posts and Bitcon Troubabdor comes up time and time again.  He must have been a very busy dog!

I was just wondering if anyone knew anything about him and how he came to father so many pups - was he an extremely successful show dog, which is why everyone wanted to breed from him.  Sorry if I'm being naive, but as I said, I'm knew to this

Thanks
Emma

Sh CH Bitcon Troubador (My Jasper's daddy ;) ) was very very successful. Percy was also very busy fathering many lovely pups!!!

I have some pics of him somewhere and I think if you do a google search for his name you'll find lots of stuff for him ;)

Here's a link showing him - top pic - dog on the left ;)

Actually Troubador's pet name was Geoffrey :lol:  He was named after Geoff Parkin (Mistfall Cockers).

I think there might have been another Bitcon who was Percy but can't remember which one - I just remember Troubador was Geoffrey as we used him a couple of times and it's the sort of name that sticks in your head :005:

Hi Guys

Jane is right Sh Ch Bitcon Troubador was indeed called Geoffrey .... Bitcon Time Traveller I think was called Percy whom Debbie & Ken Grice showed quite successfully.

He's also Mac's great grandad. :D
Bitcon Troubador fathered Bitcon Broadway, who went to live at Gessa d'Aran (Spanish kennel), who in turn fathered Mac's mother who is now in Switzerland.

It's a small world. ;)
