The decision of a breeder in selecting pairings of Sires and Dams, generally falls into one of two camps; the re-creationist (usually following line breeding model) or the developmental (usually following an out-cross model breeding model).  Thoughtful breeders realize however that the most successful programs can incorporate both approaches at selective times, and that is where this 2017 pairing of Cooper and Stormy finds its roots.  Following the pedigrees of sire and dam you will notice the influence of DC/AFC  Odysseys Kurzhaar v. Riverwoods ("Rip"), who is a third consecutive generation Dual Champion, through his sire DC Kurzhaar's Ruger v Haven, to his grand-sire DC Hillhaven's Hustler (HOF-89) - the all time leading producer of Dual Champion in GSP history.   Hustlers bloods is the common thread that binds throughout this pedigree, with injections of import lines (such as Pottsiepen, Hege Haus, and Wasserschling) for sharpness and prey drive, and crosses of field trial lines  (such as  Dixielands, Checkmate's and Big Oaks) for style and race.

These pups can be expected to be true to type following the sire's high genetic potency.
