Here’s two scenarios...

Starting out with good dogs from good to great bloodlines and the first generation one can select for a few excellent pups...within 3 generations we can have a high percentage of excellent dogs and it can be done in less than five years...

The two things one must do in my opinion...

1. Breed the very best within the family...

2. Just as important as number 1, select the very best pups to hunt and breed...to find out the best is through testing and observing...put the pups through a scenario and then analyze what was seen...at least keep 4 pups and then cull down to two pups if keeping one...it gets to the point that all 4 are good and that gives you more options...



Second scenario...

Starting out with scatter bred dogs will be a challenge...

Meaning there will be lots of variation in the pups...
Takes longer to establish your line...
And, our idea of a great dog is not the same as other dog breeders standards...
So...the second scenario can really suck...

Training dogs is not about quantity, it's more about timing, the right situations, and proper guidance...After that it's up to the dog...
A hunting dog is born not made...
