Well, i can almost certainly assure you that its offspring will have significantly higher frame scores than their dams.
Seen some registered "Chi" has only 1-2% Chi in the percentage.shortybreeder":ym0md4u6 said:That would be interesting, and I'd love to see the offspring. In regards to the comment above, the minimum percentage to show chi is 6.25% I don't really know what you'd get out of the cross though.

I remember when I first saw pictures and read about Chi back in the late '70s thinking they were something
Really Special. I was probably as excited about them as the op. Came to learn better and now wouldn't want to
have a chi on the place... hard on fences and all in all not much good for anything but the show ring. Just my :2cents:
You can register whatever you want. But the National Shows say minimum 6.25% in order to show in the breed class.Muddy":1o8oa8hj said:Seen some registered "Chi" has only 1-2% Chi in the percentage.shortybreeder":1o8oa8hj said:That would be interesting, and I'd love to see the offspring.
