How come folk recommend and rave about certain dogs to put over bitches...... That they have never actually seen work?

 

See it a lot in here, folk saying use x dog or x dog would throw great pups for a particular job.....

 

It's pure guess work and often way off the mark!

 

Some good points and I agree that sometimes you have to take folks word, if you trust them and value their judgement.

 

But what I see a lot in here is folk saying that a dog is brilliant because they have seen other folk who they don't know and who have also never seen the dog say its brilliant on here.... And that lot are only bigging the dog up because thy heard on here it was a good dog.......

 

Internet legends.

OK what made you go to mb's for your dog? You (and no one else has ever come forward to say they have seen any of HIS dogs that he breeds from working)So what made your mind up to get a pup from him?

Perhaps ideation people are occasionally talking about looks and shape for example ive never seen or met snoops razor, birds bryn or deans murphy but if I was after a salukix, colliex or bullx stud and didnt have the access to them locally thats the shapes and looks id want

Leeview I was talking about choosing a sire for a dog, not buying a pup.

 

As you ask however, I wanted a whippet, I didn't know anyone breeding any litters and had the fortune to see some dogs he had bred work, and there was a repeat mating out of two dogs that had produced animals I rated ...... And after thoroughly quizzing the man I took a chance. Right or wrong, it worked out for me.

 

I'm not knocking folks choice of sire or anything else. I just find it interesting that some dogs seem to have a very good marketing campaign, and usually not one led by their owners. Similar with breeds..... Some have very good p.r. I.e when folk ask about a dog for ferreting a lot if folk suggest a buddy x whip.... Now a lot of these folk have never seen one work well with ferrets (obviously some have) but they suggest it as its what they have seen suggested before etc.

 

Same with coursing dogs, a well edited youtube clip sells a lot of pups.

 

The Internet is a funny thing. Perhaps it's the nature of the game these days with the ban and all the thefts.... Seeing dogs run isn't so easy!

 

Shh- that's a good point, Bryn being a good example, stunning shape for a half x.
