Surf Lorian has crept closer to the 13% mark but is still not there. With regard to my interest, it is all well and truly too late now but it would be comforting to see his figures improve. I was looking at the extended bloodlines of the relevant pups recently and although hardly surprsing, I was once again struck by the impact of Temlee on Australian breeding. Going back 5 generations (the line of 32), 60% of those dogs and bitches were either Temlee himself, by Temlee or by/out of a Temlee dog/bitch. To be honest I don't know one way or the other whether this a good, bad or indifferent thing. There were plenty of other multiple appearances such as but not only, via Waverley Supreme and Witche's Coven. Two previous matings for the brood bitch have been successful to the same stud dog but to be honest, I am thinking that this might be the almost inevitable "dud" litter. Not that they aren't nice pups, it is just that one starts to think that the luck (via the "nick") might have run out.
