I'm not saying I will breed him but I have had a few people inquire about using him for stud. He is beautiful & has a wonderful personality but of course he is to large to show. "Are you judging his looks with a 'professional eye', or a 'momma's eye'?" Any helpful information would be appreciated. He is 15 months old.
Thanks!! |
I went back thru your initial post, and answered line by line, as I had answered in my original post....except for the "professional eye vs momma's eye" thing! I have never been accused of being "evasive"...maybe "not direct enough"!! Certainly dont want you to think anyone was avoiding your questions! Not a good idea to breed a 5.5# female with a male THAT much larger than her....and unless you know what lines are behind that 11# female and what they produce, not a good idea there either!
