Training vs Genetics.

genetics is part of it...another important part is selecting the right pups for hunting and breeding...and only the very best should be used...throw away the rose colored glasses and cull hard.

I have seen breeders makes excuses on why a dog is good and why it has bad days etc...etc...when she comes in heat I will breed her to ole blue.

I also have seen breeders cull a pup because the pup was real trashy...that is the kind that usually make the best hunting dogs...

Ole spot finally turned on at 3 years, he is making a dog now. I will probably breed him to ole Sue because she started at 1 year old. Spot is a cull and shouldn't be bred.

another good one...I have 8 pups and I will sell any seven but I will keep one for myself. I guess this person is saying his line of dogs are so good that any pup will turn out...or...he is one heck of a trainer. Either way his strain of dogs is going by the wayside...

THE ABOVE MENTIONED ARE SOME OF THE REASONS WHY LINEBREEDING/INBREEDING CAN STILL FAIL. EVEN WHEN IT FAILS IT IS STILL GENETICS...

To me there is natural progression stages for certain age levels of a pup. If a pup is not on it I wouldn't keep it... some will call this hardnosed...I call it trying to breed better dogs...The cream rises to the top.

GENETICS AND PROPER SELECTION GO HAND IN HAND AND EXPOSURE AND TRAINING A CLOSE SECOND.Training should be minimal but proper socialization with man a must...
