DOGGINLAD 538 Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 as you said your grandad was a top flyer in his day the way to end up with the best of what you got is to cull hard imo 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gnasher16 30,121 Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 When i was breeding dogs back years ago id say i culled a lot more than i kept which i believe is one of the main reasons i bred better dogs than most......money comes and go,s why flog dogs on,if its not good enough for me its not good enough for you. Sadly most people these days sell their excess to cover the cost of their hobby and very few people breed for themself alone......if they did they would have to cull,simple. 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

albert64 1,882 Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 why would you be breeding from shit stock in the first place ? or are you saying he had good stock but bred shit from it ? if thats the case cull hard, very hard and dont breed from that pairing again Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Millet 4,497 Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 I have culled terrier's once and i did not like it..and i wont do it again..unless of ill health which i have done before and will do again..i would much prefer to be patient and pick the right dog i require that has the best chance of doing what a i require of it..and if the shit hit's the fan and it is below my standard's i will keep it all the same..i have a big pat border here that is a head banger among other dog's...not my kind of dog but it is the way he has turned out..i dont do any digging so he will spend the rest of his life as a bushing dog for the Goshawk which he is good at and obedient to go with it.. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

123456 146 Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 I grew up with racing pigeons so am used to seeing 'pets' culled when they were not upto standards or wrong in anyway. Unfortunately this also taught me not to get attached to animals which i dont really like, especially seems i have a young daughter. When i was a small child id pick a pigeon and name it, get it tame, hand feed it and have it do silly things like land on my shoulder but unfortunately this would all occur as the bird was young and then it would start to be trained and id get upset if it was late home from training and it would really upset me if the bird didnt come home on a race day. Anyway, after all this i stopped caring for pets as pets but as tools for a job so getting rid/culling or losing animals doesnt bother me and if a dogs no good the same as a pigeon it must go, to many and they must go (pups in a litter).

Millet 4,497 Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 For me culling pigeon's/chicken's and ferret's is a different ball game to culling a healthy dog.. 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
