Not that I'm an expert breeder, mind, but I had been resigned to trying to breed toward the SOP from my own hatchery flock, and I had looked into it enough to know that it was gonna be a long, uphill slog. I lucked out last year and found an exhibition breeder surprisingly close to me though, and that really saved my bacon. Now I'm looking at having a good line of my own in a couple years, rather than 4 or 5.
