Huntmad 1 Posted July 26, 2009 Report Share Posted July 26, 2009 im fed up of ppl going on about gettin a dog out of good blood lines yea the parents or grandparents could be good workers but doesnt guantee the pup will. i know ppl who got a list as long as their arm for pups out of their bitch cause shes good un but mainly for the name and they breedin her 2 or 3 times strait after every season it not fair on the dog just cause majority of you want a blood name behind it . any lurcher can par with a good line dog it all depends on how much time you put in with it . yea i know you get the od dog that aint no good but theres more than enough are . even the blood line names started as nothin so wat does that say. just like your apinion on this Quote Link to post

Guest rodsmith Posted July 26, 2009 Report Share Posted July 26, 2009 i sort of agree to.id still only get a pup from out and out working lines/parents but makes no odds on the line.as long as they work,who give a toss what breeding they are from. Quote Link to post
coursing_lad 45 Posted July 26, 2009 Report Share Posted July 26, 2009 bloodlines - a funny subject :-) i guess its down to peice of mind , granted , buying a pup is never an easy task , thefore , KNOWING your pup as come fromt honest grafting parents , eases your mind a little bit , there is no certainty the pup will become good , as that bit as down to you as the owner to bring it up correct for the job it will be used for . but it does help if its in the pups * blood* , but on the same thing , breeding from pet homes to become workers is frowned upon , but i have seen some cracking dogs come from that way , just because its not the * norm* doesnt mean it wont work . take coursing dogs for example , you have your big names , benji,foxy,snowey and so on , but doller to a dime , there is an * unknown* dog out there which is as good or possibly better than these dogs , just then owner asnt had the pleasure of running against or with these known dogs , but the uknown dogs are still getting bred from , and sold to people whom know the parents ect . or however there found new homes . but people like for peice of mind to go with known dogs of known capabiltys . its how its always been done , and always will be , hence keeping the * line* going .

dvdskv 30 Posted July 26, 2009 Report Share Posted July 26, 2009 does the dog make the man? or does the man make the dog?,i agree you get out what you put in,although im keepin the bloodline of my dogs which has been in family years,but this is because i want to as they were all loved and never forgotten, Quote Link to post
Huntmad 1 Posted July 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2009 i agree with breeding your own dog blood line, only for the purpose of havin a pup out of it. for the love and work that its done for you over the years and to carry on the breed. Not for the name and just to sell pups to make a couple of quid. Quote Link to post

Guest jt750 Posted July 26, 2009 Report Share Posted July 26, 2009 So if you had a choice of buying a pup for £200 from unknown stock and its parents have been bigged up their owners or a pup for £200 with known lines for doing their job and the breeders of this litter are known not to keep sh!te you'd have a hard decision to make Quote Link to post
riohog 5,714 Posted July 26, 2009 Report Share Posted July 26, 2009 dogs a like any other livestock you put the best to the best chances are youll end up with a gooden but theres still no garentee you cant keep a line to close otherwise any genetic faults way back will start to show Quote Link to post
twoface14 1 Posted July 26, 2009 Report Share Posted July 26, 2009 im fed up of ppl going on about gettin a dog out of good blood lines yea the parents or grandparents could be good workers but doesnt guantee the pup will. There's no guarantees in life but breeding off top blood lines will give you a better chance of getting a top worker than breeding off any old dog. Quote Link to post

shepp 2,285 Posted July 26, 2009 Report Share Posted July 26, 2009 I guess as long as go for pups from sucessful working parents or in the case of a grey at least one that has a winning attitude then that is the best you can do. Quote Link to post
