dev 227 Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 if the dog is the best dog available then go for it, as others have said, work comes first, judge the dog on his ability below ground ,i wouldnt worry about him being undershot ,if he does his job what does it matter!! its not show dogs your breeding its workers!! good luck Quote Link to post
J Darcy 5,871 Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 The first question i would be asking myself before even thinking about a stud dog is "Do i REALLY need to breed?" In most cases the answer will be No.... Quote Link to post
hue jeers 6 Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 "Do i REALLY need to breed?" No, one is definately enough Quote Link to post
Guest ooty Posted June 21, 2008 Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 up to those that want to breed faults,not so good when your dogs have to be put down cos they cant eat,as has been said before,undershot jaws get worse when a dog gets its second teeth.dont see the point when there are plenty ov good working dogs out there to use that dont have these faults.i dont have that fault in any ov mine but most still do the alround job and yes i am 100% i dont miss meny nights in the winter and theres nothing i wont put my dogs to ,pest control used to be my full time job aswell as oldstyle wild bird keepering but unfortunatly most estates just rear these days which lessens the need for strict fox control in my neck ov the woods,certainly wont be sat here come aurtum though,i dont have much in my kennals that would win a rosset.

Guest lurcherboy2008 Posted June 21, 2008 Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 whoever said undershot dogs cant eat, WHAT A COMPLETE LOAD OF BO**UX, if the dog thats going over her is undershot and hes still good i woudlnt worry about undershot jaws if the dog works and does its job i couldnt really care, like you said its no show dog get him on her if hes that good his undershot jaw dont stop his working so i dont think itll stop the pups Quote Link to post
POSSUM 13 Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 Except if that problem passes on it could be a whole lot worse resulting in a dog unable to eat properly, let alone work. Find a dog with a decent mouth, loads about. ALOT OF TIMES WHEN A DOG COMES UNDER OR OVER SHOT IT IS DUE TO BEING TOO TIGHTLY BRED. I DO NOT THINK IT WILL SHOW DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE LAKELAND AND THE RUSSELL ARE NOT CLOSELY RELATED AT ALL. AS A MATTER OF A FACT THEY ARE DIFFERENT BREEDS OF TERRIER. THIS BREEDING WOULD BE CONSIDERED A 50/50 OUTCROSS AND THE LITTER WOULD SHOW HYBRID VIGOR. IF THEY ARE BOTH GOOD WORKERS, I SAY BREED EM. GOOD LUCK AND KEEP US POSTED....DANIEL Quote Link to post

CumbrianJack 2 Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 I was told by an old terrierman that an undershot dog is not as bad as an overshot one because an undershot dog has as good a bite pressure as a normal scissor bite, where as an overshot or parrot mouth has not got enough bite pressure to be a useful working dog. It really depends on how undershot the dog is, if just slight then i'd not worry about it, however if its a good 1/2" -1" i'd have to think it through some more, if i had the choice of 2 dogs equal in ability but one had a good mouth & the other not i'd use the dog with the good mouth so as not to set in a genetic trait of bad mouths if i wanted to breed from the future off sping but if you have no other choice then cross your fingers & hope for a good outcome, most of the time they don't reproduce it first time round but it can hit the next generation. Best of luck Quote Link to post

POSSUM 13 Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 The fellow is talking about breeding two (2) different breeds of working terriers, and in this case no kin whatsoever. The flaws that have been described are more than likely caused by inbreeding or linebreeding. This breeding would be considered a 50/50 outcross and hybrid vigor would clean up any flaws that have been caused by inbreeding or linebreeding to get the lakeland. Now if we take offspring from this breeding and inbreed or line breed them, then you would start to notice flaws. I could agree if the female in question was kin to the lakeland OR WAS A LAKELAND, but the fact is, she's a russell...I'M NOT TRYING TO DISRESPECT ANYONE'S OPINION, I am just giving my opinion, based upon my experiences, with breeding.....Daniel Quote Link to post
