Let’s take a quick look at James Maynard’s males. According to records, Mr. Maynard owned 5 males.
| Males | Sire | Strain |
| Maynard’s King I | Smith’s King | ? (no male progeny) |
| Maynard’s Duke | Maynard’s King III | A1a H1a.48 |
| Maynard’s King III | Oney’s Smoke | A1a H1a.48 |
| Maynard’s Prince | Sallee’s Okla Boo | A1a H1a.48 |
| Maynard’s King Bob | Maynard’s Prince | A1a H1a.48 |
As you can see, all but one of Mr. Maynard’s males were of the A1a H1a.48 strain. The sole exception is Maynard’s King I, who has no recorded male progeny.
Thus, we can conclude that all descendant English shepherd males with a Maynard dog in his sire line are A1a H1a.48.
