Found another dam! Not my dog - Buddy is from Pilot and Rose.

I was looking at this dog, originally from Australia that has been rescued in China, who has Pilot as a sire and a dam called Fleece. However her birth date is given as 1860 something while Pilot is 1820. So I’m not sure how accurate this is - someone mentioned artificial insemination in an earlier post. While it’s highly likely that this could have been used, it’s surely less likely that it would have been possible to preserve the sperm over that duration of time.

Sounds as if it could be accurate to me - Pilot is 32 generations back, on that record, Fleece only 27. Five generations into forty years allows eight years for each, which is feasible.

Indeed, sperm preservation would require reliable long-term refrigeration which only became available later in the nineteenth century: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refrigeration

It isn't that Pilot and Fleece were mated. The sire line of Sucker Punch, meaning from Where's Pedro back traces back to Pilot and the dam line from Osti's Delight  traces back to Fleece.
