Preferences Or Differences

a father daughter mating one had extra toes, most common for a while was weak runts and fades , and over all you get a drop in litter size , which i don't mined as the ones which are left are good ones physically then like every pup you wait for the day it starts work , then one day maybe breed from it if it works well

this is what worked for me ..R was a bitch N and T1 where related ...D was related but a bit rather back.T was a double bred grandson of R

from R to TB 30 years , shortest route 4 gens

I use a combo , and i like to use a stud from a litter with a few dogs in it , working out how they all work and picking which i think is the best and tinytiger you read it right ,

Cheers Mosby, its all trial and error, i've bred good terriers together got very low % workers spent years rearing terriers which have failed at the job, but the ones you get that you could take any where and they would never let you down make it worth it , the biggest problem with this game is when you've been in it long enough to look like you know what your doing with the breeding your getting to old for the digging , although i've never been a fast digger , as i knew the dog would stay lol

I couldn't of put that better Glyn, age is a horrible thing. I've nevet wanted to be one of those terrier men that hangs on to who he used to be, a false identity so to speak. I don't think I'll be in it for many more years myself but the decision was taken out of my hands.

Ones own mortality gets more evident by the year ,what id give to be 25 again with what i had in the yard 5 year ago but then again with the same head on my shoulders i have now so i didnt paralize one of the best bitches i ever bred .

Still digging but tend to step aside if a young un wants to show off lol.
