Knowing The Breeding

[paulus 26]

 

 

 

 

 

 

I know the breeds in mine but don't know the exact percentages, it dont matter a f**k once theyre doing what you want. The parents to mine were doing they're jobs well, thats why they were bred from and it should be the same for the breeding of any animal. thats my uncles philosphy for his dogs and other livestock and im copying it, selective breeding has been carried out for hundreds of years and no point in stopping now

thats all fine untill 5 of the litter make 27tts and 3 make 21tts due to there genetic make up and not knowing 100% whats in the mix

he kept the breeding close in his line so they all threw much the same he says, iv never seen any if his dogs the line died when i was young.

he also culled hard

>take lucus, he seems to suit a heavy saluki saturated bitch rather than say a collie cross bitch, so even if the collie cross bitch was the best bitch in the country, chances are a pup from a suluki saturated bitch of average ability would do better than a pup from the collie cross bitch, if that makes sense

>ockquote>

i dont follow lad

The best to the best does not always produce the best , genetics play as much a part

Even when mating dogs from the same breed some pairings just dont gel, ive had litters full of duds out of 2 excellent parents yet ive also used a son of an exceptional dog and produced an exceptional litter... Outcrossing to a different type is even more unpredictable

 

this terrier bitch was a cracker, however she never produced anything even close to either her or the sire used
