Update...the above statement about Stitch being the nicest young dog I've had my hands on, has now quite possibly been passed to his offspring, especially his daughter Bo'Darc CW Sally out of Bo'Darc Lucky Fiddle.  At this point this whole litter as well as many other of Stitch's pups have surpassed him in ability, style, nose and trainability.  

   Beginning in the late spring/early summer of 2003, I began breeding to Stitch.  My method for judging his ability to reproduce was, too not only breed him with some of the same females that were bred to his sire, but to also linebred into the same Fiddler's Ace/Candy Rail line of his sire, and now make comparisons of those offspring.  Although it is a little too soon to pass full judgment I can easily say, that I am VERY pleased with what I have seen up to this point, for his pups have exceeded my expectations. 

Update...the above statement about Stitch being compared to his sire and that it is a little too soon to pass full judgment on his ability to reproduce can be revised to this statement:  Stitch IS a PRODUCER and one of the finest I have seen at being able to replicate himself....

   Stitch was bred to be a stud dog.  Study Stitch's pedigree and note the similarities to both his sire and his dam.  Both are linebred CH. Fiddler and Nell's Rambling On, but more importantly than that, they are also bred similar in "method", intensifying their linebreeding.  This method found in Stitch's sire, Bo'Darc Fiddlin Rail, is a product of a "niece" bred to her "uncle" and Stitch's dam, Pinehill Matador Brass, is that of an "aunt" bred to her "nephew".  By then mating together these "method-bred cousins", Bo'Darc Fiddlin Rail to Pinehill Matador Brass, you find not only a firm foundation to Nell's Rambling On, via CH. Guard Rail and Gateway Matador/Gateway Babs but a rock solid gene base directly to CH. Fiddler.  No wonder Stitch is a mirror image of him.
