𝘽𝙞𝙨𝙝𝙤𝙥 𝙫𝙤𝙢 𝙆𝙞𝙡𝙤𝙧𝙤 is a direct grandson of V 𝘽𝙖𝙣𝙙𝙞𝙩 𝙫𝙤𝙢 𝙏𝙝𝙤𝙨𝙩𝙜𝙧𝙪𝙣𝙙 IPO3, who produced a lot of drive as well as very good hip scores to his progeny. Most Line 5A dogs today descend directly back to DDR SIEGER V 𝘿𝙪𝙭 𝙫𝙤𝙣 𝙙𝙚𝙧 𝙁𝙡𝙞𝙚𝙝𝙗𝙪𝙧𝙜 SCHH3 FH, (DDR 16213) however males descending from Bandit go directly back to 3x DDR SIEGER V 𝙂𝙧𝙚𝙞𝙛 𝙫𝙤𝙢 𝙁𝙚𝙡𝙨𝙚𝙣𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙞𝙣 SCHH3 FH (DDR 15248) instead. Bishop is not only Line 5A himself, but both of his parents imported from Germany are also Line 5A, strengthening its qualities, as the GDR of old primarily did with their breedings. Bishop offers a very diverse pedigree with no linebreeding within the first 5 generations. He has a strong Line 11D influence as well, with his linebreeding further back to LGA competitor V 𝘽𝙧𝙖𝙣𝙙𝙤 𝙫𝙤𝙣 𝙙𝙚𝙧 𝙈𝙖𝙧𝙙𝙚𝙧𝙠𝙡𝙖𝙪𝙨𝙚 SCHH3, (SG-LGA) (5-6) paternal grandson of the legendary SG 𝙇𝙤𝙧𝙙 𝙫𝙤𝙢 𝙂𝙡𝙚𝙞𝙨𝙙𝙧𝙚𝙞𝙚𝙘𝙠 SCHH3 FH3 3x DDR-MS SIEGER EUROPAMEISTER, (DDR 131345) whom he is also linebred to six times. As well as eight times to V 𝘽𝙞𝙧𝙠𝙤 𝙫𝙤𝙣 𝙙𝙚𝙧 𝙒𝙤𝙡𝙛𝙨𝙝ö𝙝𝙡𝙚 2x DDR-MS SCHH3 FH3. (DDR 131226) Additionally, Bishop is linebred fourteen times further back to Lord and Birko's sire, V 𝙅𝙚𝙛𝙛 𝙫𝙤𝙢 𝙁𝙡ä𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙨-𝙎𝙖𝙣𝙙 SCHH2 FH. (DDR 108072) Line 11D SG 𝙐𝙩𝙯 𝙫𝙤𝙢 𝙎𝙘𝙝ä𝙛𝙚𝙧𝙡𝙞𝙚𝙨𝙚𝙡 SCHH3 FH2 IPO3 in his fourth generation brings it up closer, as well as Bandit v Thostgrund's damsire, V 𝘾𝙡𝙞𝙛𝙛 𝙫𝙤𝙢 𝙊𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙗𝙚𝙧𝙜𝙚𝙘𝙠 SCHH3, also in Bishop's 4th gen. Bishop's dam 𝙆𝙣𝙪𝙧𝙧𝙞'𝙨 𝙐𝙜𝙖𝙣𝙙𝙖 brings in diverse bloodlines as well. Her sire SG 𝙆𝙣𝙪𝙧𝙧𝙞'𝙨 𝘼𝙧𝙧𝙮 IPO2 is a son of SG 𝙇𝙤𝙧𝙙 𝙫𝙤𝙢 𝙍𝙚𝙙𝙚𝙛𝙞𝙣𝙚𝙧 𝙇𝙖𝙣𝙙 SCHH3, who is in turn a son of the beautiful and substantial SG 𝘿𝙪𝙭 𝙫𝙤𝙢 𝘾𝙡𝙖𝙪𝙨𝙗𝙚𝙧𝙜 SCHH3 FH2. His maternal line as a whole brings in minimal linebreeding, furthering the diversity that Bishop has to offer the modern DDR gene pool.
