Thanks,

they both look good, id almost say flip a coin. although i like the out of nigerino in smokey. should be interesting either way you go.

 

id say yoshi i like the black angel dogs i have seen.

 

Yoshi, he has already produced one winner and he's inbred. on paper and when they drop they should be workable with high %'s at least they should.

 

Both are impressive animals. I'd like to think your buddy has already considered the bitch as breeding quality, now comes the tough part. If she's not an ace dog herself, in other words, I consider her flaws, and base my decision on the male I liked the best regarding the bitch's flaws. Blood is almost a non factor here, as I believe either or would "click" so to speak. I'd tell him to go with the male w/the best traits to compliment hers. I seriously doubt that the males are equal as far as their qualities go, but if so, then I'd start factoring in past breedings. Which male has shown to produce better? When bred to what? So on and so forth. I think trying to compensate for her flaws out of one stud pick is more likely going to be the determining factor. Lol. Hopefully it'll be an easy pick, and he should go from there. If not.....break out the drawing board. There are lots of variables to ponder on...... good luck

 

Yoshi was his first pick, but I think he has better access to Smokey. Another choice of his was to breed her back to her brother. But like Untraditional stated, he's looking towards the dog that will complement her traits & I guess that's where he's undecided at. That's why I leave breeding for the experienced.
