I use to own a lot of land so a lot of dogs were no problem but now I live in town on a Hugh lot but still not the country so I cant keep a lot of dogs so therefore you can bet the ones that I do keep are the real deal ,
What I do is I don't make a bunch of breedings cause I don't sell dogs I breed what I need so like I had a liter of 11 and I could only keep two and a good friend what hunts with me wanted one so I kept three and the others went away . You never know which pup is going to be what so I get ask all the time how do you pick your pups well the best way I have found to pick your pup is put them all in box shuffle them up and close your eyes and pick two are three how ever many you are going to keep and let it be done .
I hear this all the time well I want a certain body build and I want long legs and I want this dog to look like this are have that. Well all I can tell you is that I have seen many liters of dogs not nesserally cur dog pups and I'm here to tell you conformation don't really mean Jack I have seen medium size dogs blister a long legged dogs and I have seen short body dogs with great wind and lungs and I have seen short eared dogs have noses better than hound dogs. So why beat yourself up when picking a dog just roll the dice and get it done you will be happy.
Once you bred are A man like Mr Parker has bred A good line of dogs for so many years it don't really matter like he said most will turn out just because of the culling process and the breeding behind them . I dont now Mr Parker for Adam but just using him as a example would like to meet him one day .
I have seen breeders that have bred lines for 40 years and people would say O man I want that pup that looks just like the daddy identical and he would more than welcome them to take it, just because a dog looks like the momma are the daddy don't mean jack I have seen dogs look identical to there dads are moms and be just the opposite when it came time to show. Picking pups for the looks is for show people .
To answer you question on a subject like that is hard to do not knowing the line of dogs are how the breeders have bred threw the years. In a case like yours the best thing to do is place the pups out that you don't want even tho you may not want to but you need to because you have not had enough breeding are breedings go on with your line of dogs to figure out just what is what you need to see a real percentage and then you can start making your decisions on how many to keep for sure and cull the rest . You question is a hard question to answer. Once you get your family set then the real problem comes as to what to do with all the pups cause your percentages go up big time once the family is set. I would most likely try to hand a few of them out to some one you might can trust not many these days.
I would like to state that I don't want anybody on this forum to think I have the best dogs in the world nor do I think they are any better than yours. I have not bred cur dogs but for about five years but i bred other strains of dogs for over 25 and had some good success . I'm I proud of the dogs I own now the cur dogs yes I'm and yes there is always better dogs out there some were never forget that I just strive to try and make mine better each and every time I breed if not I have no reason to own these dogs . Every mans dogs has a bad day mine do yours do everybody's does . I'm no trouble maker man I just rub some people the wrong ways some times because if ask a question I'm gonna anwser it as truefully as I can and if there is one thing people can stand it is the truth sometimes so yeah I can rubb U the wrong way but you have been told the truth on my experince with dogs when you leave, one thing to remember here is that I'm not pushing no sales and are pushing my line of dogs to sale so what I say is for your bennifit if you want to use it not mine thats a big differnce n some. if somebody's dogs spanks mines butt I will gladly shake your hand and come back harder the next time that is just friendly competition and the way it should be if yours spanks mines ass hell you might not get rid of me till you let me buy a pup are breed to the one that done it ahahhahahahahahahahahahahah
