Good advice Bosun. I always use this metaphor and don't apologize for using it again.   If you got a gallon of ice cream and put one tea spoon of shit in it, stirred it all around, what have you got

First pick the right parents then I like a bold confident pup but not aggressive

Buckle up boys .

lee you come on here saying you took to much heed of me and saying you was green that sounds to me like you did hold me responsible that's all . Now I know you've dug the dog twice in holes large enough for him and honestly I'm pleased for you. I'm calm like the Fonze lol

14 years ago I bred a litter of 7 and after I picked my pup I was giving 5 to friends and said I'd keep the last one of them as my 2nd pup.

The lads came to look at the litter and straight away one of the lads stood on one of the pups toes and this pup sat in the corner crying the whole time the lads were there. As a result she was the pup that I was left with.

She's Dixie, now 14, living in the house enjoying retirement and what I wouldn't give to be able to turn the clock back 10 or 12 years.

She was NOT the pick of the litter

 

 

And how did the rest of the litter turn out?

Just go's to show pick of the litter dont mean much!

It was a good litter Smithwick, but the other bitch I kept for myself ,Banner, didn't make the grade. So thankfully I had Dixie, LOL.

One other bitch in that litter also lived to a good old age (despite a hard working life and getting crossed with a car) and the lad who had her still has some of her blood about him and I recently got a PM of another member to say a litter bred this year went back to her too. I hope they do their ancestors proud.

That's all I want to hear.

Dixie's mother was Pip who I bred from 4 times to 4 different dogs and pups out of all 4 litters done their breeding proud.

Out of Dixie I got 2 very good daughters one of which I retired after 3 seasons but I still have the other and I would never part with her. I have a useful daughter of hers here that might just be up their with as good a foxing bitch I've had.

But, I'm waiting nearly two years now for Dixie's daughter to break down and as she's 7 now I'm beginning to get very worried.

The dogs not had 2 digs of what I can gather mate.. it was on trial as a 100% dog and was dug to and done well but also false marked a couple of times on the trial.. since then leethedogs dug it a couple of times

But only a couple of digs since lee had it so bit of a risk! People seem to breed dogs to quick just to get pups without thinking about the mating properly

as has been said lee didn't breed the dog at all I just know the men that did and I've been after a bitch for a good while I have tried to get one from a couple of places both good working types but if had no luck at all in my attempts either no bitches in the litter or all spoken for so like I said to dillydog some of us don't have many contacts and have to do the best with what we can get all I want is a smallish bitch and who knows no one can tell she might work
