doggs 10 Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 Yes, you could breed the best dog and bitch and end up with a pile of crud. And on the other hand breed two unknown and end up with world beaters. I know of litters from tried and tested parents where not one pup turned out any good. Quote Link to post

Simoman 110 Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 Personally I would only have stock from tested parents, I had a well bred dog in his first working season get to a bull x bitch that is proven, it would of been quite easy to have the litter and make some £££££ as the parents of the dog were well tested but HE hasn't proven anything yet so unfortunatley it cost me quid at the vets to have the jab............

SHARPSHOOTER! 40 Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 Read what you write and maybe just maybe you could answer that question. Is every gold medal athlete bread from past gold winning champions,was Ali's mum and dad great boxers ????? (maybe). There's luck with everything and then again there's training and entering also. It ain't all about breading but it can help. This thread should be interesting .......... Na ,,,,,,,,,heard it all before ..... Sounds like a mess-er or someone wanting a debate!!!!!

Trigger 26 Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 where do you draw the line and say a dog is tested? a tested dog in one mans mind might not be tested in another mans mind 1 Quote Link to post
fresh earth 47 Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 Depends in the type of dog imo... For instace i have owned whippets from show work and racing lines and all have caught rabbits well enough to be worth keeping if i was happy just rabbiting. When it comes to match capable coursing dogs or the hardest working bull type then obviously you aint going to go for a flashy looking saluki thats only ever worked in a show ring and you sure aint gonna use a ned's look at me am ard staffy. If the ingredients are there imo the parents dont need to be tested aslong as there from a strain that has what you are looking for then the rest is up to you and how you raise and enter your pup but again this will all differ from type to type.

hullhunter 219 Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 where do you draw the line and say a dog is tested? a tested dog in one mans mind might not be tested in another mans mind i would say a dog is tested when it can consistently take its quarry. be it 2 years old or 10 years old and no i dont think a pup has to come from ''proven '' stock. but working blood in it will help.

sky08 3 Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 i have a bitch here (Collie Whippet Grey) 2years 2 months old the reason i got her from a pup @ 6weeks old is because my dog died out 1 night but i had been looking for a brindle collie whippet grey bitch for quite a while her mother was not tested and was a hancock breed but my bitch from this untested hancock bitch is doing her job realy well and couldnt ask for more from her i think this thread will be intresting Quote Link to post

MOO 730 Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 There will be very very few people who really tested there dogs when it was legaland most would not know what it means to test a dog .....and i am not on about just quarry with teeth Quote Link to post

Dan Edwards 1,134 Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 i would say a dog is tested when it can consistently take its quarry. be it 2 years old or 10 years old If a dog can still take quarry consistently at 10 years old then he aint seen enough huntin to even be closed to tested. 2 Quote Link to post
