Paladins Evolution (ZAYDA) is a Natural Ability 108 Prize I dog. She is product of our “E” litter. She is out of PALADINS ALL IN by OXBOW’S BIG GUN. Zyda lives with my friend, Zach Dierson. Zach hunts very hard and his dogs must do the same. Notice the bird crazy eyeballs in some the pictures. That level of drive can not be trained into them, they are born with it.
An examination of Zayda’s pedigree provides an easy explanation as to why she is destined to create a lasting legacy. Zayda’s Coefficient of Inbreeding is 16.75% which makes her a solidly linebred dog. While great dogs do come from outcrossed pairings, the odds tilt heavily in the favor of the pup whose ancestors were both related and above average performers, and Zayda’s pedigree reads like a who’s who of the foundational dogs from the influential Cedarwood kennel. Through using BreedMate software, NAPPA members are able to calculate the Coefficient of Relationship for a dog. This calculation is the percentage of genes an ancestral dog contributes to a pup. Consider for a moment the Coefficient of Relationship for some of the dogs in Zayda’s Pedigree…

I met Jason Mix many years ago when I sold him his first Pudelpointer. Later when he was deployed to Germany by the military he had me work with his second Pudelpointer that he imported while stationed there. Over the years I have encouraged Jason to take an active role as a breeder as his honesty and dedication to the breed is rarely seen in today’s world of hunting dog enthusiasts. I am so proud of the road Jason has taken with the Pudelpointer as a breed and his role on NAPPA’s board as one of their directors. Jason’s military past and background has certainly indoctrinated one very fine husband, father, and young man that continues to make my heart proud…….Bob Farris
These pups are the real deal. I use to be a GSP guy….no longer.
Outstanding breeder and even better guy! Glad I’ve gotten to get to know you
Not only did Jason supply me with the finest dog that I have ever had, he has also became my friend and hunting partner.
They are good hard hunting dogs!
