chartpolski 23,068 Posted October 2, 2010 Report Share Posted October 2, 2010 Why would it be "awful" ? You breed a litter, some make the grade, some don't. There's never been a litter where they are all the best ! Cheers. Quote Link to post
CarraghsGem 92 Posted October 2, 2010 Report Share Posted October 2, 2010 i tryed quite a risky mating with my collie bitch last year, to a trialling collie, pup that i kept didnt make the grade, 2 pups who's owners i kept in close touch with did. rest went to pet homes although 1 of those is excelling in agility now, tried a different mating this year to a dog of similar small type to my bitch. but just as well bred as the dog i'd used in the previous mating. pup is now 5mths and im positive shes going to make a worker, and im very hopefull she will be trial quality. litter brother is also showing excellent potential. im that positive about this pup that ive spayed her dam.

Cheers. well you aint going to be extatic that it never made the grade after you have give it the best you can for 12month or more, thats the only reason you breed isnt it to keep a pup back so of course you would be upset if it didnt make it Quote Link to post

iceman001979 1,316 Posted October 4, 2010 Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 Even if the pup you keep back didnt make the grade it still has the breeding in it that you breed your bitch for in the 1st place. So the pup down the line if breed could throw the pup you where looking for in the 1st place. Quote Link to post

iceman001979 1,316 Posted October 4, 2010 Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 yea why not many a race horse didnt make the grade but give foal till derby winners so why not the breeding is there Quote Link to post
CarraghsGem 92 Posted October 4, 2010 Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 yea why not many a race horse didnt make the grade but give foal till derby winners so why not the breeding is there i find it more likely that the mare suffered an injury preventing her from being raced and they kept her as a broodmare which is quite common practice. if a mare simply hadnt made the grade she'd have been sold on or sent to the factory.

iceman001979 1,316 Posted October 4, 2010 Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 everyone as there own mind set still think if pup does not make the grade does not mean she cant throw a good pup but everyone till there own. What do you do then with the pup pets home??? PTD??? and st what age would you grade a pup over what one two seasons???? Quote Link to post
