Genes showing Up!

This is Smarty Jones and she was born with a short tail that
is crooked. This is how far back that gene is in her pedigree.
Her mother is All Cranked up. Cranky's father is Romeo.
Romeo's mother is Bell Starr. Bell's mother is Crook.
Crook had the same crooked tail as Smarty Jones, but that
is several generations back. This shows that traits back in
a dog's pedigree, even way back, can show up and will.

Smarty Jones has what I called stacked genes for squirrel
hunting. On both sides of her pedigree...dog after dog after
dog after dog were great squirrel dogs. Surely, she will be
a great one too. She sure has a great personality and it
reminds me of her Great Grandmother, Bell Starr!
