Of the 36 half siblings on his sire's side, only one achieved her championship. There were no half siblings on his dam's side. Producing a total of 18 litters his get totaled 51 puppies, 3 of which earned their championship titles. Sir Bear was one of the earliest Ragus foundation dogs. He was bred twice each to Eng. Ch. Edburton Hillarity for a total of 5 offspring and Eilean Shona for a total of 4 get and 3 times to Ragus Baby Doll for a total of 9 offspring.
