have a breeding question

Well Got2 u know were I come from breeding dogs and this statement here that you make is gold were I come from and how I was taught.

I know for myself, I try my hardest to completely disregard looks when looking at a possible breeding and aim more for performance. Not to say, I don't pay attention to confirmation, just not color, toes, head, etc....lol

Everybody loves a great good looking dog I do myself but Iam like you when it comes to this I kinda let the looks take care of themselves Iam not concerned about color , the head , shoulder width just stuff like that now with that said if Iam going to breed to a certain male are female of a certain line I will know as much about that line as I can and I notice the little things that I know might come from that line of dogs such as the depth of the chest for good air and wind does this dog conform to its back ground does it look like it is suppose to look coming from this bloodline and yes I have even looked at the color of the toe nails , how much black does this dog have in his mouth, how much is he suppose to have when looking back at this line its the little things that matter more than the things that hit people in the face when they look at a dog.

Jimmy, to look at your explanation, more in depth. Do you believe that males are typically bred more based off of their physical and performance characteristics vs a female?

To this question , I say yes but it is a mistake if you ask me. I know men that would take a great male that has proven himself over and over to a female that was super bred and never touched never worked never tested in the field they would say just because she was bred great she didn't have to perform as great as the male are any were close are any at all to what the male is if she performs any at all. Now let me tell you threw trial and error I have done this my self and it was a mistake when breeding performance dogs because if you don't know then that is like rolling the dice on everything you have built lets say she is a worthless untested super bred 15 times off this super dog are that super dog line bred threw the Gad Zoo and you breed her to your best proven studd hoss well now what do you got ? You got a liter of pups with her worthless super bred genes in them. Will they perform sure they will might have some super dogs in there so over the years you breed to them now what has happen you have dispersed her worthless bad genes threwout your yard . What happens now ? Well you get a few liters from these dogs but there are not as many great dogs and a bunch more culls and you are still breeding this gene pool into you yard of dogs what happens next? All the sudden your high percentages are gone down down down now you got more culls than you do good dogs from this super bred buch of mush hounds and why ? All because five years ago you bred to this one Super bred untested piece of trash just because she is out of Mr Super dog 15 times she was never tested she was never proven she never did anything and she was a SUPER BRED CULL you bred into your line of dogs and now it is scattered threw out your yard and it is scattered all over hell to the people that got dogs from you off this Super Cull .

So man is it worth it ? Hell no! You breed proven dogs to proven bitches ! This holds true for any kind of performance dog there is be it bird dog , coon dog, hog dog and any kind of breed.

Richard I know a man that spent a small fortune buying dogs off of B.S. and B.S. bred now you think about those initials you will know who it is , some 30 dogs and guess what he ended up doing with them when B.S. didn't do his Job? He was so mad and so disgusted He went back home to Arizona and culled and buried some 30 dogs in the Arizona desert with all thirty dogs tails sticking a foot out of the ground !

So now how many people want to breed to a super bred on proven untested Bitch ?

Damn I need to write a book on that lmao !
