Rocky my dear

Any info on the dog? friend had a triple bred bitch...

 

last i herd he is still alive. must be 15/16 now

 

he is grandsire to a couple iof champions so i guess something is right with his blood.

 

Whats your view on that Sunbeam ?
More to do with the other blood in them dogs or maybe his true blood complimenting that blood ?

 

Has he produced anything aside from those ch? Might be more to do with what else is in the mix but the blood must still have some input? Friends dog was impressive to me and a surpize.

 

i have no view, that is just how it was,most off him were never tried as most staffords aren't,thats just the way it is.that other blood has not produced millions of champions over here either, maybe they just clicked.to be honest i don't know the answer.

 

wonder if they will produce always less likely with crosses isnt it?

 

time will tell,

 

just come across the ped as i forgot it. Id say he can produce wouldnt you sunbeam? That said i dont know how many litters his had and it seems alot from him are workd where other dogs arent so lucky :/ but then could that be because they saw he was a proven dog? Dont know if he is just seems people are willing to take a chance on his offspring.

 

i have no idea, i do not think many of his offspring were used.same as most staffords.i also had no idea he was proven, thought he was used for earth work but that is a different ball game.

 

Last i was told was his offspring were doing well in their type of work,which was earth work,as said above.

 

I wasnt talking about rocky lol....the sire of the chs with rockys blood As you said the other blood has not produced millions of chs ethier. I was just wondering about that dog as a producer as i see alot of his offspring seem to be worked and maybe not all winners, alot of dogs out of him that the owners feel show worthy. Not sure how many times he was bred or anything though so dont know about him as a producer.

 

Far as i seen regarding his ped..........think i have around 5 different versions & they all came from lads who owned or were close to the dog..........................Including two different ones from the same owner !!

 

never knew that. He must of proven deep though for so many people to be willing to take a pup from him dispite that ped issue...how would you regard him as a producer? if more people working his offspring then clearly he has a better chance to produce than other dogs..dont know many litters his had but have heard about alot of his offspring.

 

The differences i seen regarding his breeding were two different sires & the dams side.
I wouldn't have an opinion as i don't know the dog. However a 100% genuine man who was going to outcross to the dog,told me the offspring were doing well at their type of work. This was around 7yr ago. I wouldn't doubt him & i'd go as far as to say they must have been above average at their work................regarding his opinion.
It also tells me that Rocky must have been an above average dog too.
The Max blood will have been what he was after,so maybe there is truth to the way it says he is bred.

 

is their any of rockys offspring over in England about now?

 

Got offered rocky when he was about 6 years old for 150 pounds, he was just a field dog as far as i was told,got some good photos of him in the field one with a ped on the back thats a bit different to the one he was sent to england with.

 

staffords?irish? A certain stafford was a lesson to me lol
