I'm trying to save this breed. There are a few studs available so I don't have to start completely over. Can anyone offer some suggestions about how to bring them back?

I've never worked from starters, well since I started.

If you've found some more or less current studs that are available, I'd use every one of them on the starter girls you have. How many are there? I'll take one or two from your first litters and start a small side project to help you out a bit.

There are 5 studs with SOP's in the 93's. I've bred to three of them. I have two more starters that can breed in 5 days. Should I breed to the lone male I have or use the studs and save my male for later? I'll gladly share the glory with you haha.

Maybe they don't need saving since it looks like they've been here before?

This user has a few for $25 www.showdog.com/general/user_information.aspx?user=Georgian - They haven't logged in since August so I'm assuming they don't show up on the stud list.

I'd use those for a while to your sources, maybe use one or two and then breed those offspring to the other offspring, then breed to another one or two of Georgian's (for example - to keep COI down). They're not very old - they probably have a couple hundred days left in them or more unless Georgian returns. You could always message that user and let them know your plans in case they log in again.

Good luck.

Also maybe message this user and ask if you can use their studs. They may be unaware there's someone wanting to get into the breed. In my experience, messaging users always is helpful. It's rare people don't want help in a dying breed.

I second the advise to contact Ultraviolet. They have a number of un-named girls too so maybe they'd let you have one or two and partner up on the project with us. They have a couple of newish litters and their last login is current.

As for your starter male, I'd keep him around for a while in case you run into COI issues later but there do seem to be more nice males around than were obvious at first.

Thanks Zoetic for that find - I looked around but didn't find UV.

I made an offer on one of UV's girls and asked about putting their two boys up for stud - we'll see what happens.

I'll give it a shot, I still have 5 starter dogs coming to me. I'm a newbie, so it will be a good learning experience. Any suggestions on what to get for starters?

UV shows as having logged in today but my messages haven't been read - maybe tomorrow.

Stormbringer:
I'd just start with one female for now and breed her to one of the higher SOP males that have been identified (hope for lots of girls), then breed the girls to a mix of the other studs. Keep the males for now if you can in case they are needed later.

If everyone keeps and stands at least one of their half-starter boys there should be enough variety from the starter side of the pedigree plus the currently available studs to move forward.

Ok, no response from UV. I made a starter (Steely Dawn), bred her to Weim594, put her on the good stuff and sessioned her. She's entered in a few no-handler shows, including the Nationals after she welps. Gonna go BOB!

I have a few as it's the last breed I need to do for my breed a champion in every breed project. If someone can help me finish one I'll gladly stay on in the breed afterwards to help out.

Great response from the community!

Lunatic:
I'm sessioning my starter so as soon as she welps and gets past the point of getting turfed by the judge . . . she's advance entered already.

I found another 3 studs that are available. They are just a little past starters but can add a bit more variety to the gene pool.

Well thank you for the intro.
I will have some pups available later today if anyone wants some new blood.

The two largest American dog shows after Westminster are the National Dog Show (which is televised on Thanksgiving Day by NBC, usually after the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade) and the AKC/Eukanuba National Championship.
