I have seen it happen so often...a puppy is from a line 3 or 4 genereations previous, but the seller has no problem stating the puppy is Durrers or Rothby..etc...there was a litter recently from the "famous" CC Higgins...talk about digging for gold...it had to be 4 or 5 lines back on the pedigree...
Lest anyone think I am bias to standards..I happen to have German Biewer myself.. |
The Nikko's line of parti is no secret. I was reluctant to post their name the first time I posted about the parti color (check back to some of my first posts). While I won't stipulate or announce where I feel some of the other parti lines are coming from, because there are no absolute and undeniable proof, the Nikkos lines are out in the open.
If someone says to me, "there has never been a show breeder who's been breeding for 30 or 40 years who's produced a parti color", and I'm not allowed to back my statements up with documented facts, than what's the use of having forums like this one in the first place? And I'm not talking that the Nikkos line was 3 and 4 generations back, I'm talking the sire of my parti is Nikko's Russian Roulette and dam is Nikko's Magic in the Night - he's solid Nikkos breeding!
So No Gold diggin going on here, just stating the facts, Ma'am ;-)
