| Been following this thread with some interest. Pros and cons on both
sides. Based on historical pictures of dogs imported to the U.S.
beginning with Dr. Thornton in 1925 the GSP breed has changed. Some
would say the noticeable change/split between show and field dog
conformation began in and around the 1970's. I continue to see
reference to the genetic makeup of the GSP and would like to clarify a
couple of things as it pertains to the early Pointer influx.
The Spanish, French and English pointer original stock trace back to
the Italian pointer and with each point along the way the dogs
developed a specific look with specific traits depending upon where in
a particular country it was located, the hunting style and
requirements of those individuals living there not to mention a look
they found pleasing to the eye. The late 1700, early 1800 strains of
pointer were still evolving.
The documented use of the Arkwright Pointer in the early development
of the GSP is well known. What a lot of individuals don't know about
this particular strain of pointer is, they were solid black, their
head piece and foot configuration different from the other pointer
strains at the time and they were well known for the backing and
scenting capabilities. William Arkwright went to great lengths to
keep his strain of pointers from being cross bred to the point he
subsequently moved them out of England to Sweden.
Why, because at the time the other Pointer men in England were out
crossing to other breeds in the hope of finding something to improve
their present stock. It was Colonel Thornton(not to be confused with
Dr. Thornton) whose well known out cross to the English Foxhound is
documented by his dog "Dash" - a phenomenal dog but did nothing to
produce more of the same and as the other pointer breeders of the time
found the same out cross set their kennels back as well.
I continue to research to find something that definitely collaborates
the Foxhound was used in the development of the GSP and to date have
found no reference to the use of Fuchsjagdhund in any of the German
reference material. Nor have I found any references to the Foxhound
being used in the development of the Spanish or French pointers I
have found multiple comments by American breeder/owers from the
Fifties to the affect it is "thought" to be to which I refer back to
German sources and find nothing stating such to be the case. The only
theory I can surmise goes back to Colonel Thornton and other pointer
breeders use of the Foxhound and subsequently the misconception that
the Arkwright Pointer strain being an English kennel must be the
same. I would be more than happy to receive any documentation by the
early GSP breed developers that indicate when and where the "foxhound"
was used in the development of the breed.
What I find interesting is the lack of discussion about the "lemon
color" cropping up in registered GSP litters found in the Presidents
Message on p. 8 of the same July/August Journal.
How many have registered a litter of GSPs within the past 6 months and
noticed one could select; (061) Brown, 063 Brown & White,
(115) Lemon & White or (199) White as a color that most closely
describes your dog or "For alternatives, see www.akccolors.org.
Purebred GSPs are "BB", "Bb" or "bb" with or without white in patterns
with ticking or roan. Genetically our Liver is "bb or brown" but with
some AKC breeds the color brown is descriptive of a "sandy" or "fawn"
colored coat which would be incorrect for the GSP coat color. Yet, if
an individual has a pup in a litter with a coat color of sandy or fawn
may consider that a correct GSP coat color.
The lemon color is being found in litters where the parents purchased
as hunting companions are both liver or a combination of liver and
white and the DNA on the pups indicate the parents to be correct. To
produce "lemon/yellow" both the sire and dam have to carry the "e" and
if bred may produce one or more pups with "ee" thus the lemon/yellow
color will be expressed.

Patte,
I don't know if you recall, but some time ago there was quite an outcry
here on this list about an internet advertisement for lemon GSP's. I
personally wrote to Ken Marden to ask that the lemon GSPs be investigated by the
AKC. Ken's response was that the AKC would not investigate unless someone
put up $500. And that the pups were probably sold
anyway. Neither Ken Marden, nor the GSPCA seemed to find it important
enough to pursue. I recall Nancy Campbell also being pretty upset
about it, but she didn't get anywhere either. I couldn't understand
how the GSPCA's AKC liaison didn't care that people were registering lemon and
white GSPs as purebred GSPs. And I couldn't understand why no one on the
board of the GSPCA saw fit to pursue it either.
For the GSPCA President to bring it up now is very confusing to me, as
no one seemed to care then. I would suspect the posts could be found in the
archives. But I don't recall exactly when it was. Maybe I will
look for it...

Cathy, You might be talking about the thread on the Breeding Forum, It's called the Rarer Color Gsp?? I think someone else inquired about the Lemon color on another Thread as well.
Dang Back-yard breeders is what I call them,

 I just found another Thread on Breeding Forum, Page 2, Yellow gsps
OK, Now I'm really sick. This Thread gives actual Kennel name of person breeding these dogs, and also gives the copy of Pedigree,and DNA. |

Ok, spent an hour and a half looking through the archives for any thread
with "lemon" in it. Maybe that was not the title of the thread. I am
crying uncle for the moment. I have to get some work done today or I won't
be able to go to the match tomorrow  .

As I've said, the list is
mirrored at www.shorthairs.net (GSP
Forums tab, then mailing lists, then gsp-l). A quick search there turned
up a thread from around December 2008.
A message from 12/26/2008
with a subject of More off color "GSP's":
We tried asking to Ken to look into the last lemon GSPs that were
advertised online. Nothing happened.

This was a second "sighting" or "citing" of a yellow GSP. I
remember when this one came around thinking they did nothing last time no sense
in joining in this time. I believe the one we tried to report to AKC was
prior to this one.

If you search for "yellow shorthair" you will find it. There are four threads and they are all dated on or around 5/15/08.

| Short and sweet -- In your view Patte, does a further understanding of
the genetics surrounding the "lemon" issue help or hurt those of us who
support the change in breed standard to include black? I can't help but
feel it will impact the issue somehow.

I contacted the AKC on this issue. They did investigate the "kennel" and did parentage testing that was conclusive that the parents were the correct GSP registered dogs as stated.

Of course that doesn't prove the parents were pure-bred GSPs, only that
they are the parents. You would have to go back ? generations to find
out where the lemon came from, since they must have gotten the e gene
from somewhere on both sides.

| EXACTLY PAM! It only proves they are the parents. If I understand what
Francois said, both parents would have to carry to gene for that color
in order for the pup to have it. If both parents were liver and white
and appear to be GSPs, then both parents had to either be crossbred and
carry the gene, or each had to have a crossbred ancestor who passed
down the gene.
Right or wrong Francois? Or is it more complicated than that?

I personally wrote to Ken Marden to ask that the lemon GSPs be investigated by the AKC. Ken's response was that the AKC would not investigate unless someone put up $500. And that the pups were probably sold anyway. Neither Ken Marden, nor the GSPCA seemed to find it important enough to pursue. I recall Nancy Campbell also being pretty upset about it, but she didn't get anywhere either. I couldn't understand how the GSPCA's AKC liaison didn't care that people were registering lemon and white GSPs as purebred GSPs. And I couldn't understand why no one on the board of the GSPCA saw fit to pursue it either.
For the GSPCA President to bring it up now is very confusing to me, as no one seemed to care then. I would suspect the posts could be found in the archives. But I don't recall exactly when it was. Maybe I will look for it...

| This together with AKC's insistence that the black puppy was out of
the two l/w parents makes me seriously question the reliability of
these tests (or at least the method of submission).
