Breeding dogs...

Breeding for natural ability is the best way in my opinion...
Years ago way before the internet I read any article I could find about dogs...and two articles I read took me to a different level of thinking...but like anything else I created my own versions...

There was an article written about breeding and testing puppies and dogs in some European Country...these guys had an over the top kind of testing and breeding program that I couldn’t agree with on account it was too stringent...to have a dog eligible for breeding it had to pass some high level testing and earn degrees..a mixture of obstacle and hunting tests...a new born litter was inspected by a dog warden who did these inspections in a general area...he culled any pups that were not uniform in size or if the color was off...this was right after birth...also included culling down to eight pups on account the mother couldn’t properly feed more than eight pups...a little later, if I remember correctly the warden culled down to six pups...this way the pups could be fed correctly by the dam...the result...pups that were uniform in type...
