I guess this is a question for the breeding & field trial guys...

The way I understand it, a sire will generally have greater success in passing his traits to his offspring when he is younger.

While I understand that many dogs might sire more champions as they age, due to breeding more because of popularity, I guess the percentages of getting that "mirror image" dog are greater when the sire is young.

This brings me to my final question, I am seriously looking at purchasing a pup from a Pointer litter that has been Sired by a deceased Hall of Fame Champion (Addition's Go Boy) via frozen semen.

The pedigree is rather impressive... Of the 7 Sires in the pedigree, all 7 are champions and 4 are Hall of Fame dogs. Also, 1 Dams is a Hall Of Fame dog.

I mean this pedigree is loaded...

However, my concern revolves around the frozen semen breeding and the percentages...

HAS ANYONE HERE HAD EXPERIENCE WITH A DOG THAT WAS BRED LIKE THIS?

Thanks,
