is that not what a lot of greyhound men do????

Race one sapling and keep another for the breeding.Ive heard of a few doing that ?

Since when ? why would anyone breed from a dog that had never raced???

 

There's plenty of good racing lines to choose from so why would anyone do this...?

 

I think the original topic and question is, when there's nothing or very little good stock available...

Swansea jack "As I said I have heard" , I didnt say I can quote direct examples but I have heard of guys doing this locally.

 

Im not into racing greyhounds but thought it was a good example to use

. maybe Trev could shed some detail on this?

                  Last time Trevor mentioned your name it was to do with the thieving of working dogs.....you've still not answered the fella! ("chop-chop").

Theres plenty that breed from a bitch that has never raced due to injury or that has not been top class, if a sibling has been very successful.

Personally I would prefer as most would to breed worker to worker, however if it was a case of loosing a line due to not mating back to a dog that had been kept as a pet then I would go for the non worker, I think if the blood is there consistently for a number of previous years then your in with a good chance.

 

Only my opinion mind.

You've got the wrong lad mate. You are on about Hawkaholic NOT Hawkeye.

this is a tough post.

i honestly think if all the bad dogs dissapeared tonight .and just bred from the good ones .next year or so there would be a hell of a lot more good ones out there.
