What is the lineage of your pup?

There is a great website that has been posted previously that traces Sheltie pedigrees.

Over the last few weeks I've noticed the same breeder names coming up over a pretty wide geography! For example, newly Rassy and I made a connection with Shelhaven in Nova Scotia - I'm in Ontario and Rassy is in the deep, dark north of Manitoba - that's a geography that is maybe twice the size of continental Europe!

Reputable champion breeders will go out of thier way to breed outside their region, to avoid too much inbreeding that could dilute the bloodline. Our one pedigreed dog was born in Michigan, but the sire was from Florida. Even then, there were family crossovers on both sides of her lineage. (14 champions total, thank you very much.) She was never shown though.
 
Indy is Dury Voe stock.

His mom was Dury Voe Promises Promises.

And on both his Sire and Dam he has Dury Voe Wintergreen and Dury Voe Encore and Winterwind...and Winterlude and Rhonda and Barcelona.

No in-breeding here! :wink2::lol:

we got Wintergreen too :wink2:
and Winterlude and Rhonda

This is a topic that has been gone over time and time again. It's totally interesting and we love to make connections to pups on the forum.

Kelly - is it time for a "Pedigree thread?"
 
So I am a huge pedigree geek. I admit it. I have software, and a decent database. :smile2:

One evening I sat down and tracked the male and female tail lines all the way to the unregistered dogs. This mean take the top row of your pedigree (sire, g-sire, etc.) all the way to the end; or the bottom row (dam, g-dam, etc.).

Marque: Male tail: 23 generations, looks like this:

Ch. Foxglove Ashburton Bottoms Up ROM 8/97
Can Ch. Bonnyville Fairfax Nighthawk ROM
Ch. Alfenloch Whirlwind ROM 6/28/1987
Ch. Alfenloch Ryan O'Neil ROM 5/21/1985
Ch. Sunnybrook's Heritage Spirit ROM 9/29/1979
Ch. Sunnybrook's Matchmaker ROM
Ch. Romayne's Sportin' Life ROM 7/28/1974
Fair Play of Sea Isle ROM 3/8/1963
Ch. Malpsh The Duke Of Erle
Ch. Sea Isle Serenade ROM
Ch. Nashcrest Golden Note ROM CC 1/21/1951
Ch. Prince George O'Page's Hill ROM
Ch. Kalandar Prince O'Page's Hill
Ch. Mowgli ROM 4/2/1931
Ch. Wee Laird O'Downfield
Eng Ch. Blaeberry of Clerwood
Chestnut Lucky Boy
Chestnut Rainbow
Irvine Ronnie
Berryden Prince
Ashbank Olla
Nesting Topper
Frisky (unreg.)

Inbreeding coefficients are even more fun. I can be up to the wee hours playing.
 
Barkley (and all the Alaris pups) have Am Can Ch Cindahope Trade Mark lines as well. Mark was the founding sire of Connie's kennel, Rabbit Run.

No Trade Mark in Bailey's lineage, but there were some other Cindahope's on her sire's side.

just had to laugh when I saw that, EVERYONE's got Peter Pumpkin. Especially any Macdega's since he was a Macdega.

oh we all know about Peter Pumpkin. That boy sure got around. I think he sired the most sheltie litters in the US.
 
Peter Pumpkin's name is Halstor's Peter Pumpkin. He was bred by Edie Overly of Framingham Mass. Tom bought the puppy from her. I believe he sired 167 Champions.
 
Comparing the lineage is a lot of fun! I saw a dog that looked like Randi's Bailey, and they ended up being related. I thought that was neat, how the different lines have unique "looks."

My Chloe has a lot of Macdega, and then she has Barwood, Starhaven, Cameo, Locklynns and a bunch of Shamonts.

Dandie has Macdega, Barwood, Teaberry Lane, Zion, and a bunch of others, lol.
