Fero-Free Studs - Page 1

  With the genetic bottle-neck we seem to be headed for, I was wondering if anyone could identify really good, strong males, with solid, stale temperaments, good working ability and iron nerves....that are Fero-free?  If so, names, where are they located, have you seen them work, etc.

MY boy has a super pedigree that does not include Fero, making him a super stud to go to with Fero females, or any good female -

H'Doc v Rex Lupus Schh3,FH2,KKl-1,a-normal HD/ED - ZW 69.  He's black and very handsome :) Super dog in every way, with excellent pedigree.  Available to quality and approved females (titles definately preferred).

No, I have not seen him work.  Have heard a lot of good things about him and how he is producing.  He is in Washington.

You might want to try Nate Harves at sport waffen he is using some real nice males in his breedings and producing some nice strong pups.

I have a really good strong male SG Zico van't Linnershof Sch3 FH Ofa Excellent  with solid, stabe temperaments, good working ability and iron nerves....that are Fero/Mink-free. I live here in North Idaho.

Just curious, why wouldn't you want Fero in your breeding? I've heard in the past that some pups had some problems from him but he is in the Top 5 BSP Sires of all time thru 2007 with 35 progeny. And why wouldn't people want Mink? He throws some nice strong dogs and he's in the Top 10 BSP Sires of all timme thru 2007 with 22 progeny. Just curious.

One of the main reasons I imported my male was just as Molly explained above. Everywhere I looked I found mostly Fero and Mink, males and females, already linebred on those dogs. I saw where we were going with this and chose to bring in an alternative. I don't use Mink lines becasue most of them are still ugly several generations down the line and to be honest, I really wasn't crazy about the temperaments of progeny from Mink that I met so many of way back when. Not that I would exclude him completely, but of all the popular dogs of the time, he was my least favorite.
Unfortunately, my current dog, and my last (Pallo) have been largely overlooked in this country despite fine produce on the ground. Then again, I bought them for MYSELF, not with any dreams of making a lot of money from stud fees, especially after Pallo (an own son of Marc, linebred on Greif, with an awesome immediate family) only got maybe ten breedings in the US. 
At this point I think I am one of a very few people in North America who has Marc close up in more than one dog's pedigree to manage a linebreeding on that excellent dog without traveling a long, long distance... a fact that delights me to no end. :-) I wish the dogs I have had Harro closer up that 4th generation as well, but Harro has been dead a long time.

Bijou has Fero through Troll, and is linebred on Harro, but he is missing two P2's, not considered worthy of the breed survey, so he's out of the gene pool. (heartbreaking if you know Bij) Still, there's nothing else wrong with him and he's a gas to work, so I am having a lot of fun with him now that he's finally grown up in his little brain enough to do more with. Harro males are notoriously late to mature, but I knew that when I searched for him in the first place.
Look for Bij to take out a helper near you. LOL
