It's good sense, but perhaps not essential.   It's very difficult to get an honest opinion from many owners on what constitutes working stock.....a lot of folk make good claims, but are perhaps not

I think we are all, broadly, in agreement that worker to worker is the best way..... but surely there is a case for the first cross that ISN'T from "workers" ? I own one; another well known lad on her

Like I said. Was linford Christies kids Olympic Champions?   Was Muhammad ali's kids boxing world champions?   Or George best, is his son a top Football player?   Good parents might increase y

Is it important and essential when buying a puppy that the parents are good workers or done some work atleast ?

It's very difficult to get an honest opinion from many owners on what constitutes working stock.....a lot of folk make good claims, but are perhaps not always breeding good stuff....do you often take the word off a stranger selling his goods?

 

Seeing the parents working counts for a lot.....

 

Putting the time and effort into your pup probably counts for more ;)

 

This one came from none workers......no Hancock......just a random bred litter to get some Merle fashion cash..... :)

 

His a handy little dog though, got more juice in the tank than most and never afraid to do some honest work

Not everybody has the

Privilege of knowing people with working lurchers or the contacts to buy one.

 

I sure didn't and done the best with what resources I had.

 

Bet there's a good number of working dogs out there from non-working parents or from rescue centres doing the job.

 

One way I look at it(and this is only my opinion) is that a small amount can be passed down from

Parents but it's what goes into the dog, the hours and what you do with it.

 

For example look at Chris Eubanks son, doing well in the boxing but it's not because of

Who his dad is, it's because he had the facilities, training and management from somebody who knows what they're doing.

 

Or look at Ben Mitchell, his dads Phil the hardest man alive and he's gay and a fanny :D

To increase your odds of getting a good dog to suit your type of hunting, getting a dog bred from dogs doing the job to a good standard on the land that is similar to where you hunt is a very good move.

It's simply a good idea to improve your odds or reproducing a similar type of dog, but nothing is guaranteed in the dog game.
