From what I have seen the guys/gals who develop and maintain a line thru linebreeding generally have more to say about whats what on a dog. The dues they pay in working out the problems in a line of dogs really, really comes across when you speak to them, they just radiate dog knowledge. IMO that’s the difference btw making dogs that will hunt, and breeding hunting dogs that reproduce themselves. If I get a dog from someone I want the best chance for that dog to be what they say it parents are since its my burden to feed and house. JM 2ct
So true!
My favorite part is the weird looks I got from these folks when I "thought" I was radiating dog knowledge around them!
lol I learned to shut up and listen but it took me a while because I am hard headed and had an attitude about it.
I aint trying to be down on folks at all and I sure dont have the right to look down my nose at anyone who tries to breed a hog dog after what I have done in the past. I usually always keep my mouth shut on a breeding post but the times I do comment, it’s in hopes that I can keep someone from all the grief, culls, and wasted years that I went through.
Good luck on your crosses folks.
