Hog dog-ology

Wooo weee I don't even know were to start .

I guess if I had to start over and was just starting out and let say I had a fine gyp that was bred well and also a damn great hog dog . I would be looking to find the best hog hunting dog that I could to breed her to . IN other words you breed athletes to athletes ! If you do not have a family of dogs then you need to breed the best to the best that you can find . There is no since in worrying about blood at this point you just need to breed the best to the best that you can find . Then you get your pups keep the best and do more best of the best breedings until you have yourself a few dogs from a few different crosses then you can start to combine your blood by breed half bro to half sister and so on . This is how great lines get started !

Now , breeding to a dog that has not proven herself as a hog dog but has produced great hog dogs when bred to certain dogs and she her self is from a proven line and is great bred from a long line of great dogs. There has been many many many breedings done like this and the bulldogs were a lot of them were I learned about this .

Some females it worked great for many many years and some females that were bred like this their offspring blew a gasket about half way threw them many many years and cull dogs started showing up more often than great dogs . This is the chance you take . You say what chance is that this bitch is a great producer of dogs and comes from great lines of dogs and producers of dogs , Well I say o did she now , well we are forgetting one main ingredient here , they say whats that , I say her ? They go to scratching there heads what do you mean , I say what the hell do you mean what I mean !!!!!!!!!!! What are you forgetting here ? LOL You are forgetting this great bred bitch has never best tested she has never proven a damn thing in the woods are what ever her job is and now 15 years later she is dead and this great line is now starting to produce more junk than good dogs well what could that be ? Could it be that bitch that was never tested was a cull !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Highly likely ! There is your problem and you just completely fell on your face not thinking about it !

I would never ever breed to a bitch that I didn't know what she was . I want to know what is in her gas tank man I want to know she is a good hog dog , I don't give a flying chit how she is bred she can be out of GR CH NITE CH GR CH God of all hog dogs , I do not care that is great but WHAT IS SHE HERSELF ! You damn well better know if you are basing your whole family line of dogs on her and her offspring if not 10 15 year from now you may find yourself scrapping your whole yard !

Now , folks I have seen this with my own eyes this is no hear say this is facts !

Blood is great , family's of dogs is great , line breeding and in breeding is great but Am here to tell you never take a damn thing for granite , see it with your on eyes and know what you are looking at !

Am not basing my whole yard on a bitch that has not hit a lick !
