Sir Alphonso pops up a few times on her pedigree and I was just wondering what colour he was, what type of lab he was, working ?
I'm hoping to breed from KITE at some stage and was just wondering whether breeding back into the Tyton line would be a good idea.
I have quite a few of the Tyton dogs in my bitch's ped; the kennel was started from JimJoy Lines.
Tyton Lord Hastings was by Boothgates Headliner out of Tyton Casca
Hastings was then bred with his mothers sister - Tyton Manata Trufa to produce
"Tyton Sir Alphonso at JimJoy"
All these Tyton dogs were Chocolates. Sir Alphonso was withdrawn from the breeding programme because some of his progeny developed eye problems.
All the dogs had good hips, although I don't have exact scores.
How close is the breeding of Alphonso? Any double up would exacerbate potential problems, and would I guess depend on how far back in the pedigree they were. I am sure the more knowledgeable will be able to advise you.
My bitch has current clear eye tests, but even if she could spring a win at Crufts, even with my limited knowledge from looking at the pedigrees, I wouldn't consider breeding from her.
Great colour, fantastic pet, potential for obedience, passes muster at open shows and for now that suits me fine
Had my leaving do from work Friday night, and hence the mother of all hangovers which eliminated any potential for movement of any part of the body other than my hands - think I have been here ever since and next weekend I will be recovering from an operation before starting my new job on the Monday so BRING ON THE 'L' PLATES - PMSL

PS: I really should get out more - trouble is, every time I do, I end up spending money on cars, computers or doing something that involves dogs, including trying to look at pups - think Martin thinks I should just get tied permanently to the computer - can do less damage there
that is pretty impressive history!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hawk as Sue says there are a few of us here with Tyton lines in our lovley labbys
No help from me about breeding lines ... but just to show off my boys Tyton lines.........

Great grand parent: Tyton Casca ( dam )..
sherpa is my lovley yellow labby... Dad was a beautiful chocolate labby..
thats about all the info i can add..... All i can add is that in the last couple of threads especially Homer's about Labbys ( real ) names it has been great meeting up with distant cousins ( thats sherpa's take on this.. Honest!!!!!!
I went on a mission to find out about the dogs because I kept stonewalling everywhere I went. Alphonso was by all accounts a really nice choccie dog with good hips (no-one ever says that about me )
I have got the ancestory of those dogs going back several generations now
When we went to choose Sherpa i met Alphonso and fell in love on sight!! it's now 7 years ago but i can still see his regal proud stance.... Hally is a beauty that's for sure
Sue i'd love to know any other info you have found out... going to be a proverbial pain in the posterior.... cos it's great to find someone at last who knows about thier ancestory ... ok i shall try and be a tiny little pain in the butt.. and not too big a one
