The top picture is our "Buttons N Bows" (Allie) sired by the dog on the left , National Champion Connor's EZ Button , and grand sired by the dog on the right, National Champion Shell Creek Coin , both owned by David O'Connor, and handled by Steve Hurdle. All three go 60 + lbs. . We have a super young prospect out of the above female , and a Son / grandson of Joe Shadow , ( Shadow Mountain Black Sam ) , with Steve in his spring puppy program. We will probably breed Buttons N Bows this next Feb. to National Champion Lesters Snow Watch . I have never been "high" on Miller bred dogs as a strain, but I do like Snow Watch and Coin. We had good luck bringing Ch. Mississippi Hot Rod (Millers White Powder ) into our Joe Shadow line with Shadow Mountain Witch. A Fancy Shadow (DOY) is from this cross.
We thought that a Snow Watch , " Allie" , winning female might cross well with " Sam " .
The Snow Watch cross would give us three National Champion's lined up. We thought this might accentuate what we are looking for in pups, bird finding ability, handle, and drive. We believe these are a large part of the Amesian standard.
Would you explain "Amesian standard"? Nice article!
