Does anyone have some advice on the best way to learn about bloodlines/pedigrees etc.?
Is it just via these forums etc.?
I am a greyhound owner, & would like some knowledge on best sires for any potential brood bitches in the future. Thanks

Best way to see what has worked or could work is look at your bitches sire have look throw pedigree top progeny and other side top female progeny and same look throw bitch side of mating 1-2-3-4 generations back to see if u can find a link there that contributes to a good litter.

History is the best teacher. Likewise if you don't learn from history you are doomed to repeat it.

David Brasch is the smartest pedigree analyst in the game. He has some outstanding articles on here.
