tia.kins 56 Posted November 29, 2011 Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 Is it important and essential when buying a puppy that the parents are good workers or done some work atleast ? 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 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 3 Quote Link to post

B.P.R 2,798 Posted November 29, 2011 Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 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 2 Quote Link to post

Sirius 1,391 Posted November 29, 2011 Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 (edited) 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. Edited November 29, 2011 by Sirius Quote Link to post
