Didn't mean to have three posts, just retread both of our posts and thought of something else.......
I did not mean to claim that heat wave and Mac got the same start. I was comparing lean Mac as a stud to the original heat wave in that Mac got bred to better dogs than his counter parts, and the resulting pups end up in serious homes, just as heat wave original gets bred to better cows then his clones.
When I say he was the heat wave of the retriever world it is because if you ask 100 knowledgable retrieve people, who the best side of all time was, 90 are likely to say lean Mac. Just as heat wave gets excluded from best side polls, in part because as one person said, he would win easy....
I explained Mac as an analogy because not everyone on here would know him. Though it is cool so many do....
Though so far with the exception of the semen quality issue, know one that has posted would justify original semen over a clone. Even with semen issues, use three straws of seven instead of one of original and you are money and sperm count ahead.
