tinytiger 872 Posted January 6, 2011 Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 My father often say's that Apples do not fall far from the tree but he also recons the only way to test that any terrier is throwing himself is to see what he has thrown to previous bitches (Possibly let others else test them) if you can see them work and does their work suit your prefered type of work .As many top Stud Horses Greyhounds and indead Terrier's could well be great Animals themselfs but bad producers where-as their sibling Brother or even sister Who's Genes can be close but not identical could be incredible prodcers "As has happend many times in the past!" ,But Great proven Stud animals also tend to get top Quality Bitches ,(check out which line they tend to throw to or even outcross to best!) He also says he would rather breed to a Champion Race Horses Father Rather than the unproven Champion if that makes sence.in Sport Jonathan France good post,youd see in greyhounds the whole time,often the 2nd best dog out of the litter makes the best stud dog.i dont know why that is,maybe a cheaper price attracts more bitches or maybe 1 copy of a particular gene makes a derby winneer and 2 copies of it make an inferior racedog but a better stud dog.
