Foe example You breed a supereb litter out of two superb dogs you keep a bitch and run it on and your gran keeps a bitch that never sees nothing meanwhile your bitch is shit hot lamps rabbits, catches hares and does charlie single handed. But it gets knocked over and dies........ Would you breed off your grans fireside pet? when its never even seen a rabbit, because its a sibling of your wonder dog, is it worth the risk?

matmorgan 49 Posted May 13, 2010 Report Share Posted May 13, 2010 Well look at this way....Say you had a top class dog like barny for example and you and your mates have never had a dog like it. Then he dies suddenly and you never had chance to breed him to your top bitch....but your parents owned his brother, bengi, for example..but he was purly a pet and has never even seen a rabbit. would you use him as the next best thing, as the bloodline is identical. A non worker is different to a failed worker dont you think? good point Quote Link to post
