Breeding From A One Off ....

[Tyla 3,179]

Should you or shouldn't you?

 

I have a 7 year old jrt x whippet who has proved himself to me time and again. Ideally I would like to clone him but failing that I'd like to breed him to a bitch of the same type and calibre aiming to get a very similar type of dog.

 

Is this a good idea or am I likely to end up with throw backs?

If the dog is the business then breed him, people are too hung up on pedigrees these days.

hold the pups for a few months you get a fair idea of the shape of them.

dogfox has said it if its a good dog why not breed from it isn't that the aim to get a simler or better dog as a result of the matting

is he a first cross, if so is it not worth just buying the same way bred again or is there a few crosses in the mix , if so your breeding whirrier to whirrier / lurcher nothing wrong breeding but you are left finding the right homes for the rest of the pups

He is a first cross, jrt x non ped whippet I believe, bred by dogger from this site. The biggest hurdle maybe finding the right bitch owned by someone who wants a whirrier stud. I have never bred or wanted to but the older he gets the more I realize how handy he is.

Phil, I've not seen any other whippet russells work but those I have seen at shows etc are not the same type. His ability is what makes him worth breeding from and I couldn't guarantee that from another dog bred the same way

If you can find a bitch bud I would breed him he's a handy soild type !!

There's two things stopping me, firstly knowing someone with the right bitch and secondly the timing. I'm not ready for a pup yet but will be in a year or two. It's just something that I've been thinking about more and more recently

i personally wouldn't breed a litter of similar dogs ,no disrespect meant,as I know how handy they can be as I've had similar.

But they are quite a niche type dog and unless you have the stomach to cull you may be left with a few .

I personally buy in jmho

What about finding a whippet bitch, 3/4 whippet 1/4 terrier then,handy ferreting dogs ?

Id guess finding a bitch that is up to his standard is going to be the hard part, the dog is very good by all accounts. Breeding is a gambol, he might not throw himself, he might, only one way to find out.

 

Keep us posted though mate

If only it was possible to clone him

60k and a trip korea job done ,but it won't necessarily make the same dog as you have to make sure you done exactly the same training ,game,and experiences
