I'd two Russell types. One bull Russell bitch.game out I'd plenty digs over her. Bit of a mixer good finder.I'd her 3 seasons.my dad had a parson dog. Sounder out an out.dug few foxes with him.but in his first full season so I wouldn't breed. He wasn't proven. Lost both within a month for different reasons.plans for future gone. So would I breed from a young dog next time? You bet

Only the breeder has to feed them. What he does only has to suit him

True, as long as the surplus don't get sold for big money from 100% working parents.

i've bred from young terriers , a couple of times , because now and again you get some shit luck as in both cases lost at work and stolen as with all pups they then get tested , in the real world well in mine if i waited until every terrier i was to bred from had to be 6 or over , i wouldn't of kept the little family going , planning is all well and good but when your planned stud dies at 5 years 11 moths and 29 days where do you go because if his sire is still alive he's now over 12 , a couple of seasons work you know what you got

good honest post Glyn

Bred from young dogs myself in the past when circumstances forced it, I took a chance because I had seen the parents of my young dogs work and was impressed, so went for it and pups turned into good workers. Its the chance you take!!
