Title: GB.ShCh = show type?
Post by: kate2 on March 11, 2015, 10:51:33 AM

I've been researching my dogs pedigrees (bored at work :P) and although they are both "working cockers", they both have ancestors with "Gb.ShCh" against them??

Kiwi:

Lilly:

Does that mean they aren't pure workers?  :huh:

They have some show type ancestors :D

Kiwi - Gwynmardene Hanson and all his ancestors were show types

Lilly - Horn Blower and Teifi Red Alert and all their ancestors were show types.

Ahh I guess that explains why Lilly is so chilled out and doesn't chase things then!

Kiwi must have ignored those genes! :005:
