BREEDING SO CALLED WORKERS

[Chancer 23]

AT WHAT AGE DO YOU GUYS THINK OF BREEDING OFF A WORKING TERRIER?

 

AND WHAT AGE DO USE (APPROX) THINK TERRIERS HAVE MADE THE GRADE,? MYSELF PERSONALLY WOULD

 

NEVER EVEN THINK OF BREEDING OFF A TERRIER UNDER 2 YEARS OLD, DOG,OR BITCH, I HAVE BRED MANY TERRIERS IN

 

MY TIME AND NONE OF THEM HAVE BEEN UNDER 2.1/2 YEARS OF AGE AND HAD TO BE A PROVEN WORKER.

 

IM FOREVER HEARING OF PEOPLE BREEDING OFF YOUNG DOGS AND BITCHES SIMPLY BECAUSE THESE DOGS HAVE HAD

 

A COUPLE OF HANDY RESULTS, IMO A YOUNG DOG ,BITCH. UNDER 2YRS OLD CERTAINLY HASNT PROVED ITS WORTH

 

OF BEING CALLED A DECENT WORKING TERRIER. JUST MY OPINION.!!!!!!! WHAT DO YOUS THINK

I personally think a bitch should be around 3 to 4 years old minumum, this is due to having atleast 2 seasons under her belt and proving her worth, like wise for a dog.

 

Personally I wouldn't put a young dog across my bitch, like to use older stuff,which is now retired and putting good stock out there.

 

Breeding youngsters on all levels is wrong

[clachan 72]

I still think at two year old you have not got a true working terrier.At best you have only had one season out of him/her.Although they may not have put a foot wrong they are still young and inexperienced.And at two i dont think you have the finished artical.There may be a lot of potential,but i would ussually wait untill their older and had at least two seasons work under their belts.Only my opinion.atb clachan.

TOTALLT AGREE FELLA NOWADAYS YOU HEAR OF PUPS BEING BORN FROM A 2YR OLD MOTHER THATS WHY THE GAME IS BAD AS IT GETS

I think because a dog/bitch works like a demon doesnt mean any pups will automatically make the grade as well,its the genes that determine how a dog will turn out not the work of the parents.

 

Ill explain what i mean,

 

If you bred a very good terrier bitch/dog and sold one pup to a non working home,because that dog will never work does it mean you couldnt breed it and produce a worker? course you could,it carries the genes of good workers.

 

This bullshit about testing dogs to the limit only comes into play when very gifted knowledgeble blokes decide to create a line and cull anything that doesnt make the grade and thoroughly test every thing that goes into them,theres less of these people about than you think,especially these days,most of us just work and breed dogs created by someone else,when it comes to breeding most people are just playing at it.

 

Daft question.

As a matter of fact i produced my best ever dog from a very determined grafter and a less than good bitch,so yea i suppose i have bred from a "non worker" the pup i kept wasnt that good by some people on heres standards i suppose,i only dug a few hundred with him and he was only able to kill the odd fox to ground when he was 9 or 10 piss poor really.

[steve 34]

breed for the best digging blood possible at the age of 4 to 5 year old and not before..thats what i think.

GOOD POINT FELLA YES ALL DIGS ARE DIFFRENT ANY TERRIERMAN WILL KNOW THIS

 

IS IS 100 DIGS AT 2-5 FT ONLY 2,3,4 ENTRANCES WARE THE DOG WILL FIND EASILY AND BE DUG TO QUICKLY

 

OR 100 DIGS AT 6- 9 FT 10-20 EARTHS WARE THE DOG WILL HAVE TO WORK TO FIND AND MOST TIMES BE THERE FOR A LENGTH OF TIME TO GET DUG TO.???????
