"digging Bitches"

I'd agree with you there MB and that can be the downside of it all.

 

My take on it, as I said before, is that the working terrier would be in a much better place if folk valued and kept more bitches. We now live in a world of names, names of terriermen, names of dogs, names of clubs, books...etc.

 

So lets favour the dog, like a dog, got a good dog, got a name for yourself, got a name for your dog. That dog is that good you wanna put it to open stud but we ain't gonna call it open stud because it sounds a bit 'wrong', so lets say available to 'selected bitches' and they start coming....

Nice litters produced too, names getting bigger, bitches are getting less selected because now it's a friend of a friend an you ain't seen it graft but hear its ok... So how many bitches is that now..? Oh, it don't matter too much, if ya didn't know much about that other one, why care now and that money helps...! Hey, this kids keen, bitch is shite but i'm helping him along, his stock 'should' improve...! That's how many linings this year, thats how many pups..? This dogs a cracker though, should be 'some' handy animals about.... How are those pups lookin..?

 

So now you flip it....

Lets favour the bitch, like a bitch gotta good bitch, got a name for yourself, got a name for that bitch. Because whether you have or you ain't, when it comes to breeding from her the ONLY thing your gonna do is put her to THE best dog you possibly can, no if's but's or maybe's.... How are those pups lookin now..???????

 

 

The only person with any understanding of what makes a lines good or bad .nice post mate was going to but you saved me the trouble .

The dog is the most important ingredient in creating a line and not just a one off but that said GOOD bitches need to be covered by it.

 

i think both sexes being of a good quality has been agreed by most posters. but if i was to start out in terriers again. the first thing i would look for is a very good well bred . BITCH. tell me what i dont understand and i may be persueded to take a dog.
