Black And Tan

[kirstysdad 827]

There are a few about but VERY few and getting harder to find me and couple of mates keep a couple each and can trace them back a fare way we only breed a litter when we need to and pups go between us or any others go to working homes were we can keep in touch but as said money ruins everything so no money changes hands

It's mad that even at that working dogs are cheaper than cross bred pets, bred for pet homes.

 

A woman at my work spent 2+ weeks of her wages, £1,200 on a french bulldog pup and the same again on bringing it backwards and forwards to the vet.

That's pretty much the code myself and most I know live by.

 

But you have to wonder will what your doing now preserve working Lakies or eventually lead to it's diminishing and dying out? Surely not breeding from very high quality bitches is more damaging to working lines than if pups were free or not? B

Had a good b&t lakie that done me proud over the years. Dug to him to he was 13 yr old, even though he'd slowed down a lot he still got the job done, he was no world beater but i dug some stuff with him, he put plenty of others to shame in his time. I could have bred him umpteen times with Russell's and blacks but I didn't because I wanted to find a b&t bitch as good as him. Never did in the end unfortunately. Such is life.

breeding from poor stock is only for those that want to get rich I only breed from tested stuff for the love of the dogs not the love of the coin

You've taken me up wrong, you're talking about "breeding from poor stock"

 

I'm talking about the very very opposite, Not Breeding from good stock, I think that's damaging.

[kirstysdad 827]

Your right there should only be tested very good stock
