Names For Names Sake In Breeding

[roybo 2,873]

Looking through adverts ,you can't help but see the name dropping in pedigrees.

Now I'm all for knowing the breeding of a pup I am buying ,but when every name in the book is in there it does make you wonder.

wouldn't just a few of those names be better off repeated a few times than having 6 or 8 well known dogs in their history .

Here's an example I saw on a pedaling site....

The most important are the Sire and Dam and the Pup in front of you .the way you raise and enter it the rest is all marketing and history.and a coin magnet

The mom to them pups looks remarkably like a bitch somebody I know got rid of I dunno where it went to though but it's the spit of her

Why anyone would put up peds of dogs on here or anywhere else is beyond me...only got their selves to blame imo.band some names about all about the coin,nothing else.atb dc

I don't know why people bother,most "legend dogs" are one offs and don't produce pups half as good as them.

anything worth buyin wont be advertised therell all be sold before there born and men that miss out waitin for the next litter if it happens

[stone rose 353]

aussie you are wrong of course they produce as in race horses pigions etc its genetics and if you get it right jobs done its plan to see through the lines of dogs that exist today

[stone rose 353]

and if done right will produce better than them self

[arcticgun 4,548]

its good too know how they bred, especially if you own one, but most important is how sire n dam perform

Can't say I agree with that mate

 

If that was the case, no one would ever get access to well bred animals

Nothing special anyway I had a bitch out of stag party/stag night she was pick of the litter bitch named honeymoon kept back by Phil himself she was cracking on rabbits and small things but didn't like anything that gave her abit back

That might be true in a purebred line,but in mongrel lurchers the chances of getting the same percent of each breed in the offspring is minimal,though I'd always get a pup off decent workers.
