Culling (strike dogs)

Actions speak louder than words...always pay attention to what the pups are doing, not doing, and it is just as important to see how they are reacting to different situations...be observant even of the small details because they matter in the selection process as well...for me that is the fun part...

Back when I had 4 to 6 males that were hunting dogs and all were almost the same in ability...I still used the same type of system when selecting which dog was going to sire the pups...I know you only asked about these pups...but if you are going to breed dogs in the future off of these pups then you will need to start building a strong foundation...

Look ahead and premap the family tree...if you analyze correctly the cream will rise to the top...it is best to start out with at least good dogs in the pedigree...
