I see Bona was also V rated, and had a few breedings some years back.  Seing that she's eight now, this might be it for her.  Some of her progeny are already four years old.

Here's a buncha pics of Buddy, SG rated, and appearantly never utilized for breeding.

Bandit and  Bomber just turned 6 years old. 

I have seen a few Bomber sons/daughters, and haven't seen anything negative - he seems to be producing very well (or he wouldn't have 150+ breedings in only 3 years or so). 

I know more about Bandit.  He himself is a truely balanced dog - social and calm in public - anyone can meet him, touch him, handle him, interact with him.  Children are kissed, adults are greeted with wagging tail and calm gentle well-mannered dog.  No leash, I just open his kennel and out he comes to meet and greet anyone who wants to see him.  No dog aggression.  His drives are "high" and he is powerful in his drives - he turns on in a flash and is very enthusiastic about working.  Just as easily he has an off switch and is perfectly happy lounging around, relaxing and enjoying his off time.  He is not obsessed with toys or food and he's not constantly on the move or dropping slimy toys in your lap to get the game started again. 

Protection work he's serious as a heart attack.  Protect for "real" - absolutely.  He grips hard and calm and is perfectly clear in the head at all times.  He looks at the helper and the sleeve is optional for him.  But he can walk off the field and meet and greet children and he can take a break during protection work without a problem or worry.  He's perfectly balanced in temperament and drives and nerve.  I've heard this is the main difference between Bandit and Bomber, but can't say that I know that first-hand.

Bandit has been producing like every breeder or stud dog owner dreams their dogs will produce.  With every female, of different types, bloodlines, temperaments and personalities - he has produced extremely uniform litters with consistant traits - I call it "he stamps his progeny" and in a very clear way.  Excellent bone, structure, pigment, size, temperament, nerve, drive - everything falls into place with Bandit pups, seemingly no matter the female.   They are ALL confident, forward, friendly, drivey but clear, great with people but also intense and focused.  They are strong, not for the "average pet" family, but for active pet homes where the owner is experienced and training is involved, they do fine.  Though of course I haven't allowed him to be bred to any crap females either.  Most of the females he's been bred to are also excellent in type and temperament, drive and nerve and bloodline.  But still even outcross breedings are still true to form, Bandit-stamped pups in every way.  I am extremely excited about Bandit's impact on the breed in this country.

Ha ha, between my math and Sunsilver's, someone set us both straight; B-Wolfsheim are 6 years old.

Yes, 6 years old as I mentioned in the first statement of my comment.

Psst...it was DARYL who said Bomber was 8 years old. I never gave an age for the dogs. Not that math is my strong point...

Oh, I was referring to this, "I remember a thread several years back where she commented on both Bandit and Bomber."  My math, your memory, something like that.

(tagging this thread to refer to later if I progress to a high drive line.) 

I'm hesitant to comment on the negative aspects of my Bomber daughter because I think much of it came from the mother, but I will say I was disappointed in the way she was as a puppy and the way she turned out.  So my only point in commenting in this thread is to say not even Bomber could over come some of the negative aspects of the dam, which weren't properly conveyed to me before purchasing the puppy.

It's difficult to find breeders who can objectively assess their breeding dogs.

mfh - is your Bomber daughter the dog in your avatar?  wondering if Bomber carries long-coat recessive.  Bandit does not.  Just curious.  You are right, for most stud dogs, the female does carry just as much if not more weight than the male in the resulting puppies (IMO and in my experience).  Bandit seems to be an exceptional stud dog in that he seems to really stamp himself in his pups.  That said, of course I have not bred him to any females with sketchy temperaments or major structural faults.  I believe it is the responsibility of the stud dog owner to take care with the breedings - the resulting puppies from a so-so parent will come back to bite you - usually the stud dog is blamed for the bad and praised for the good.  People tend to forget the female's input and that's a big mistake.
