I have a Travis daughter and I absolutely LOVE her temperament. He also corrected everything I wanted to correct, without losing any of her dam's good qualities. It was a linebreeding for me and I would do it again in a heartbeat!

I also used one of the Hyspire boys and he corrected a few things for me -tail sets, bone, overall size - added in lots of birdy-ness. Kept our good fronts, nice rears, and super sweet temperaments.
Used a Hyspire boy last litter. The girl is an apartment lab :) I saw and liked lots of his get and they were taller. No luck my girl reduced as usual. The litter was very nice. Only had one girl and she is not going to make size. Oh well back to the drawing board.
Unfortunately, only having one bitch puppy in a litter makes it real hard to make any conclusions from it. It's probably worth another try to see what you might get.
