    it was written a very long time ago, well before modern software. To think of him working out inbreeding coefficients with a pencil over 10 generations defies logic. Originally called Puro-Sangue - Animale da Esperimento it was translated about 10 years back, It now goes under the name of 'Tesio, in his own words'. It can be picked up here in NZ through an online book store based here so not hard to get at all

    Yes and no - I want to breed my dog and get a few more Setter pups into the country -I have two contacts with people with Bitches , one I spoke to tonight and the other I spoke to a year ago and he failed to met up with me as arranged -a Dargaville chap whom I will also talk with again .
    One problem with people breeding they fear being left with pups and like to have at least half pre sold so I am told
