G'day,
thanks for the positive comments.
Yellow Back Mask - Goin on your name you might be a little biased......but I understand.
Mike - personally I will be selecting for dogs that are rougher than most, where I live is hilly and scrubby and sometimes they take some stoppin'. Dogs that run behind barking are culls in my book. Eventually I would like dogs that can be "sooled in" to catch at the bay. So to answer your question. I'll be breeding for hunting ability and stopping ability. I should add that dogs that won't rig (we say "utefind") are also regarded as culls.
My cousin wil be selecting dogs for working cattle. He already has good collies so I guess that he'll be goin for rougher dogs as well, some of the cattle he has have never seen a human except when they are being chased by one in a helicopter. These cattle can take some keeping in a mob and are running over his collies. Hence the BMC's.
Will keep you all posted.
cheers
Troy
I have purchased 5 ben dogs from 2 different people, and so far, all of them are rough as a cobb and real catchy.
