names of lines

[fish 148]

WHITSER WHEN YOU TALK OF A "LINE " CAN YOU DEFINE THAT TERM ,JUST TO MAKE SURE WE RE ON ABOUT THE SAME THING HERE.

pip the point of this thread wasnt that breeding from a line's bad it was that too much emphasis was put on what lines dogs were off. im talking about when the first thing lads ask when they see a dog is what lines is he off etc...i think there is too much respect(if thats the right word) given to a dog just cos of what line its off. dogs earn respect by doing their job,not born with it cos of who their parents/grandparents were. my lad at home i dont know what line he's off, but i'll judge him by what he does on the field. if he proves himself worthy of breeding off he'll be lined to a good digging bitch regardless of what line she's off. these nuttal,gould etc......lines lads seem to think that cos a dog is off a well known line that should make a difference when the only thing i think a dog should be judged off is his work. if i breed a litter of good workers myself in the future off my dog and over the years a line develops any future dogs off that line will be judged on what they do not what their parents did.

good post bud

SORRY FISH IF YOUR AGREEING WITH THAT POST YOUR NOT WHO I THOUGHT YOU WHERE.THE BACKROUND IS EVERYTHING,HOW THE SIBLINGS WORK MEANS A LOT AND UNTIL PEOPLE STOP JUST JUDGING THE INDIVIDUAL DOG THEN WE LL ALL END UP WITH SHIT,IM NOT ADVOCATING NUTTAL GOULD BRIGHTMORE ETC ETC WHAT IM SAYING IS THAT THE HISTORY OF THE ANIMAL IS A GOOD GUIDE TO HOW THE OFFSPRING IS GOING TO WORK.

I NEVER SAID BREED OF A DOG JUST CAUSE HE S GOULD OR NUTTAL,I DID SAY THAT THE HISTORY OF THE DOG AND BITCH IS A MAJOR FACTOR AND OF COURSE THE INDIVIDUAL DOG HAS TO BE WORKING TO A HIGH STANDARD.

SO GOOD ANIMALS OUT OF A LONG LINE OF GOOD ANIMALS

pip please dont think im trying to wind you up.you can have the best breeding in a dog but it don't guarantee that its going to be a good worker it mite help but in my opinion its the way you enter a dog not its breeding.
