It has been proven that the exterior is of great importance in breeding. For example, Professor A.V. Gaveman talks about this in his article.


Frankly speaking, if the modern "Irish" champion of Caro III, 96, V. V. Petrov, is placed in the general exhibition ring for exterior evaluation, he will be lost among the preserved black and tan setters of the old type (Gordonov).



At the same time, the increased use of the Caro III champion as a manufacturer has not yielded positive results. Currently, we have 42 dogs from the Karo III champion, which is 45-50 percent of all black setters with tan markings in Moscow, of which only 4 are field dogs, and those with diplomas of the III degree, and the remaining 38 dogs of the II and III age groups are not working.



Almost the same can be said about the offspring of the National Academy of Sciences champion G. A. Uspenskaya.



Now let's see what the pedigree population of dogs of this breed is in comparison with the dogs of other breeds.



As you can see, the data on black setters with tan markings is very disappointing. Of the 127 setters of this breed listed in the catalog, there is not a single field winner who has won a diploma of the first degree. And in general, the percentage of field workers is small, which prevents dogs from being shown in exhibition rings during a comprehensive assessment, for example, if in 1947 there were 73 setters of this breed in the exhibition ring of the Moscow Society of Hunters, then in 1957 there were only 24.



Why has the number of dogs on display decreased so dramatically? The reason for this is the poor and inept work of the section leaders. Many lovers of this wonderful and rare breed of dogs, such as N. A. Chekalin, S. S. Telegin, N. A. Zernov and others, have long stopped taking their dogs to the exhibition.



In the interests of preserving and properly breeding the breed of black setters of the old type in the future, it is necessary for the Moscow Society of Hunters to restructure the work of the section so that the breeding plans in the breed would provide for the use, at least as an experiment, of producers, even if not identified in the field, but carrying the blood of new imported dogs, especially It is shown that the use of imported producers in other breeds, for example, in the breed of red setters, has yielded positive results.



In this regard, it can be considered abnormal when the excellent-looking male Jim by M. G. Kruchinina (from the champion Karo, 80, V. N. Yaroshenko and Negri Miroshkin, imported from Czechoslovakia), who has occupied the first place in the exterior rating ("excellent") at the exhibition rings in Moscow over the past five years, was not included. in the mating plan. During his 9 years, he had only 4 unplanned mating and gave offspring excellent in appearance, which was noted in the report of judge V. F. Gordeev on the exhibition held in 1956, at which 3 dogs in the younger age group: Lada — IA Yakusheva, Mirra — K. E. Smirnov and Mirta — PD Galkina., took the first places in the ring with a rating of "very good", and Mars — F. O. Bashkatova of the second age group received an excellent rating and also took the first place in the ring.



In the interests of the cause, lovers of black setters with tan markings living outside Moscow should establish contact with the MOO section and inform about the best representatives of the breed available locally in order to use them as producers, as well as organize the exchange of puppies of different bloodlines.



At the same time, it is necessary to strengthen the work on the preparation, training and display of dogs in trials, especially those intended to be used as breeders.



In order to spread black setters with tan markings, it is advisable to resume the system of contracting litters from the best bitches and organize the supply of puppies to hunting organizations and amateur dog breeders wishing to breed this breed. 1xbet is a preferred option among sports bettors in India, thanks to its diverse betting options.
