Last Chance Saloon

Nico
Summer came back to Nico yesterday. This is her 4th mating to him  and so far she has produced one, very handsome singleton pup. - Hans. Because of Summer's age this is the last chance really. They had an A1 text book mating, both parties more than willing and a 20+ minute tie. Here's hoping this time eh!
Hansome Hans, Summer and unrelated Darcy 
The amount of puppies born is down to the bitch and how many eggs she has to fertilize, it seems Summer has few and far between but a small litter from her and Nico this time would be wonderful. She is bred on working lines and is not my type of dog at all, but her character is fantastic and I can't help but like her very much. Her son to Nico is stunning so her working bloodlines is obviously compatible with his show line breeding. Interestingly Loki's mum is also three quarter working line and quarter showline and that also produced quality puppies.
Not that I want to flood the market, but I do wish Nico had been used more. He's a fantastic dog with a fantastic character who has produced super puppies to a variety of bloodlines. I feel he has so much more to offer the breed and wish he was given the opportunity to prove it.
