Perhaps it would be someone who spent a lifetime of Pain and Joy trying to better our breed and through her hard work and trial and error bred this Great Ambassador to our Breed. Hopefully we can see more of his puppies.
Thanks to Jill.... who took a chance on a real beginner, I am privileged to have Rosie,(CH. Wiscoy's Once Upon a Rose)
nine years young....a Arnold/Gracie daughter.
I cannot thank Kendall enough for allowing me to breed to her wonderful dog Drifter.
I believe there is a litter of Arnold pups, a few months old or so. It is my understanding that there is no more frozen semen available from Arnold or Drifter.

Kudos to both you and Jill! An Arnold daughter, how lucky you are.
I saw a young Drifter son take the points a few months ago. I believe he was owned by Deb Arnold of Twin Cedars Labradors. She had a Drifter litter out of her nice Ch. black bitch a few years back.
It's wonderful that these boys semen was frozen for later use. Anyone with a quality finished Champion boy should consider doing the same for many reasons.
What some breeders don't understand, it doesn't matter how many years ago the collection and freezing was done, what is important is the quality and preparation at the time it was done. It has nothing to do with how many years ago it was.
The frozen semen could be used 100 years from now and be the same as when thawed today let's say 15 years later.
Learn from the long time breeders & your mentors that have done this. It's a simple concept & something anyone venturing into a breeding of this type should be aware of. We all need to be educated and learning constantly.
