Ray Mears 272 Posted January 1, 2007 Report Share Posted January 1, 2007 (edited) done loads at 16 months? Personally in my opinion i would give a dog a good few seasons to prove itself as a worker before breeding ANY dog ..But thats just my opinion. This is the reason too many dogs are culled/unwanted due to unproven backyard breeding But if you think hes upto it - good luck. that dog looks just like one i saw at york hunt on boxingday is it the same dog ??????and like people say mate he might be doing well .and i must admitt he looks well ..even better with a bit more work.... but hes hardly proven no matter how many hes had .....at least another couple of seaons before you get a provern dog ........and they will be better pups and stronger in another couple of seasons ...... im a bit confused !! why will the pups be better and stronger in a couple of seasons??whats time got to do with it if this dog turns out to be world class or not the pups will still be bred from the same lines. or am i missing something???? abit of common sense joke! the dog is still only a pup yet it has not proved it self and has not proformed to the best of its ability therefor if you breed this dog too soon your could end up with a shite litter. but if you wait until it has proven its self in the feild and you have found a dog as good as the one you have got you will end up with a decent litter Edited January 1, 2007 by whippet boy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
zap 4 Posted January 1, 2007 Report Share Posted January 1, 2007 Yeah that is true snoop, but if the dog turns out to be shit then the odds of the pups being decent dogs become even lower. There is enuff of a gamble when it comes to breeding working dogs with out making the gamble even bigger and breeding from unproven stuff. David if thats the case why do folk bother breeding first crosses ,i aint saying the lad is right or wrong to be breeding of his dog at the end of the day who ever buys the pups will no doubt be told about the dog and bitch and if then they still want to part with there money its up to them Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ray Mears 272 Posted January 1, 2007 Report Share Posted January 1, 2007 it has got to do something with the genes i.e if you had a mom and dad with ginger hair there is a good chance that you will end up with ginger hair(sorry for the example)this is passed though the genes. if you have 2 good dogs there is a chance that the pups will come out the same way Quote Link to post Share on other sites
