question

[pbrookes 450]

would any of you lads use a dog that is bred to the bollocks but was sold to a pet home. the dog in question is out of my old dog (now dead) and a 110% digging bitch, he was given to a mate 6 years ago as a pet . when he walks him he flies to ground and has caught a couple of mink on the river bank. he is the only dog i can find out of my old one. is it worth a gamble? The old dog was one in a million but was run over when my bitch ex wife let all my dogs out after an argument one night. your thoughts please.

six years might be a bit long mate to try to start a terrier working. But you never know if the breeding is there it might still take to the digging.

Sorry not made it clear. i meant to use as a stud. the dog is a pet and could not take it digging.

In that case absolutly not! If the dog hasnt worked dont breed from it. No matter how good the breeding of the dog is. If I was Breeding I would like to see both parents with at least four seasons work under its belt.

i can see where you are coming from but thats ok in theory. how many pups are bred these days off parents who have had 4 seasons work. gouldy made a living off spartacus and flint off the backs of their breeding and they were on chains 90% of their life and no matter what anyone thinks of him there are litterally hundreds of workers off them 2 dogs up and down the country

[neil cooney 10,416]

If the intention is to run on the litter yourself, try them and see how they go you are perfectly entitled to breed your terriers any way you please.

If the intention is to keep a pup and advertise the rest of the litter as "both parents working" then no, don't breed them.

i would say no . if you have a bitch worth breeding from, find a proven stud (one that works and has already produced a high %age of workers) . you may need travel for the stud . but i would say" if you have doubts don't do it ".

i would say go for it , use the dog for stud but on the basis that you keep how ever many pups you want for yourself and cull the rest . that way if the pups don't make the grade your the only one that's unhappy ......... hope this helps

in this case i agree . if your old dog was good and meant that much to ye give it a go . if you use a good grafting bitch. and the stud is of good lines and has killed a couple a mink . give it a go. nothing ventured nothing gained. keep a few pup's yourself and give the rest to family and freinds as pet's . if they turn out good go get em back..

[Waz 4,266]

PBrookes how did the rest of the litter out of your old dog work out?

[samba 534]

I WOULD USE IT YOU KNOW HOW IT IS BRED THE PARENTS ECT

NOT A PROBLEM ITS IN HIM JUST NEVER BEING ALOUD TO USE

[borderland 0]

lad if you do breed it (which I would say not to) and they turn out no use you will have wasted a good opportunity to line your bitch with a proven worker. It will take at least 2 seasons from now to properly give the pups a chance and if they dont work out your back to square 1. Anything could happen your bitch in two years. Play it safe and breed to a tried and tested worker ( by that I mean at least 4 seasons work as previously stated) and start a new line of workers. Taking a chance like that to preserve an old line is not worth it. There are plenty of good working lines out there.

the bloods ther the drives ther its you only chance you know whats in him i would use him

 

Holy god not a bit of wonder the dog market is full of rubbish with statements like that. Its a fu**ing PET.
