I understand the cold bitch breeding program. I realize why it will work in the game dog world. My concerns in the cur hog dog breeding program are as follows:
1. You are dealing with many more traits you are attempting to improve on (speed, hunt, range, grittiness, bottom, desired size, nose, temperament, etc., etc.)
2. Being able to determine if a cur bitch is genuinely "cold", I think would be impossible, because of so many more traits you are working with.
I know very little when it comes to the game dog world, but it seems that you are only concerned with a few traits; game and strength.
Just seems that the more traits you are dealing with the less likely this type of breeding program would work.
Woooooo Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee boy are you far far far away from the truth there dealing with many more traits and I don't mean this in a smart way just trying to get you to understand here. I know you don't know and understand how the bulldogs worked and I know that is why you are saying this but no sir the complete dog was like finding a needle in the middle of the Atlantic.
LOL Well in the game dogs you have the same kind of thing and just as hard are harder to put together than a great hunting dog.
Number one and above all is Gameness but that does not win all the time you have to have style , ability , mouth, quickness, speed, wind, lungs, staminia , durability, types front end , back end, chest , gut , other types a defensive dog , a straight forward dog , a finess dog and it goes on and on and on . Trying to put together the perfect dog believe me you can proably count out of all the 100's of thousands are maybe millions there might be a 100 are so that can be named the complete dog and
I bet there aint that many!
and in my 30 years of breeding I will tell you just how hard it is I only had 1 that was the complete dog . Sure there were some great ones but only 1 that fits that one in a million and that is 30 yrs with some of the best that lived !
