He was a fantastic sire and I see him popping up in pedigrees still. But did anyone ever have a litter of pups by him with extremely short legs? The reason I ask is I dropped off a litter of pups to a breaker for a mate a few years ago. They had comically short legs, almost like Corgis. They tried their hearts out and had early speed, but obviously they had no stride length.

It doesn't matter what they look like if they're fast. But yeah some were a little bit short and stumpy
It isn't just magic sprite pups though that can be a little bit short legged. I've seen plenty of little dogs that could motor along that don't carry any magic sprite too

Do you have questions about breeding theories?
