records

[fatpat 7]

Do any of you terrier breeders on here keep detailed records of your matings/lines ? or do most of you leave it to memory ? the reason im asking is i myself keep kc parsons and keeping track of the breeding lines is easy,everything being recorded ie litters ,pedigrees etc. With working terriers there seems to be a lot of crosses used, if you dont keep detailed records how do you know what your line of terrier really is ? ( i know most will say it dont matter as long as they do the job they are bred for !)i just it very interesting,( the make up of terriers in use today). :search:

the mate who i got my black dog from keeps the pedigree of his strain in his head i only know 3 gens of it, i think hes forgotton a lot of it, all i can ever get out of him is that the dogs are all old nuttal, despite my dog and his litter brothers looking more like fells

 

they are all great dogs so i guess i cant complain though

When my mate breeds his Patts all his pups only go to working home's or they do go at all and if you ask him what line they are from he will gladly tell you "there from my line"

and he breeds some cracking dogs

hi carraghsgem.

you should write down everthing to do with your dogs.

matings, pups that were born, dogs bitches, who got what and where they went too.

also days hunting and digginng to record how that particular dog or dogs worked on the day.

its only takes a few minutes to do and last you a life time.

its always nice to look back on events wether they good or bad.

When line breeding its a matter of what gelled with what but the introduction of an outcross however tight does tend to throw in a mix, not always desirable traits either .Its the outcrossing that needs writing down .As much info on the breeding of that outcross as you can muster from the breeder and the results of subsequent litters when added to your own .Ideas come to mind when re-reading such info and i know its done me favours in the past .As for digging records ,none kept . Such things are ingrained in the memory i find and just need prompting from time to time when in like minded company.
