Am/Can Ch Degana Cole Porter, TP |
STATISTICAL DATA/GET SURVEY Please Note: This survey is currently being updated. Results will be available at PCA 2004!! | |
Cole Porter was at public stud for 10 years. His oldest puppies, a Degana litter, turned seven years old Jan. 20, 2001. All six puppies remain in excellent health.
In November 1999, I started contacting the breeders who have used Cole Porter in their breeding programs. My main concern for doing this was to gather information regarding the health and quality of the puppies he has produced. I wish to thank all of those breeders for their enthusiastic response, for their own dedication to the health of their breeding program, and for their honesty in sharing this information. See below for the statistical data from 41 of his litters.
