Hickory 54 Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 Approved bitches only. Always working to improve the breed is the watchword. And further, I want to protect my reputation and my dog's reputation by only having our names associated with quality terriers. Quality meaning correct conformation, sound temperament and the drive to work. There are no guarantees when you are breeding dogs, but you can improve your chances. Quote Link to post

tinytiger 822 Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 if you have a very good dog. and its to be put to stud. do you think it should be used. only on quality bitches. (aproved) or would the breed benefit more if it covered all comers. i know there are both schools of thought. what are your view. and why do you hold it. my personal opinion is if a very good dog is used on all comers its genes will be thicker on the ground. to be tapped into. The more bitches its used on the more chances it has of throwing workers-its a numbers game.If you look at greyhounds Brett lee (fastest dog in the world) x paua to burn (fastest bitch in the world) and the entire litter was crap. Its in gods hands as far as im concerned-you never know how theyll turn out until you do it (one way or another) whether they are outcrossed inbred or whatever.Ive seen entire litters of workers of average parents and useless dogs from brilliant parents 3 Quote Link to post
THE GENERAL 1,982 Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 I was always told that if you have a really good honest bitch, you should try and find an even better dog to cover her for the best possible outcome. Easier Said than done in some cases. Quote Link to post

Cleanspade 3,322 Posted September 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 another wee thought. everyone with a terrier. beat a path to the doors of all the (greats) middleton /gould/nuttal/chapman. and so on. did these fellows. noted producers of quality working terriers turn most of them away.???. i doubt it. did they breed tightly amongst themselves no. did they cull hard no, have they produced a lot of good dogs. they most definately have. most peds have terriers from these folk . so what was there secret of success. is it numbers /variation. luck. or carefull breeding..? rs Quote Link to post
