HEAVY JEEP PITS

x2...sounds easy but it takes time and money...and lots of dedication and a genuine love for breeding the best of the best...some of the issues I perceive as breeding problems are that folks don't "see" a great dog when they are looking at one...and another mistake is out-crossing way to much and too often...when you have a good line of dogs going it should take days and even months on deciding who breeds to what...

Great post Rueben.

That's the problem unless a person's full heart is into it and his ever waking moment is thinking about what comes next then he is not a true breeder of dogs . I was like that at one time but Am not like that so much anymore. Why because it just cost way to much money , to many headaches , to many asses to deal with and it is just all time consuming . Now a day 60 hour a week jobs and you still have not got enuff money for you and your family to live comfortable on . 30 $ bags of dog food its just unreal ! You have to have land and a set up and you have to have access to great dogs and most of all have to be very active in the sport you are breeding dogs for. This does not mean hunting dogs once a week are three times a month that's a laugh . We all know that ground and pound in the woods many times is the only thing that is going to make the dogs. I breed a few dogs now but even with ten , twelve years of messing with this line of dogs I got that is just the baby stages of running a straight line of dogs you just now earning your huggies . Ten , fifteen years is noting its just getting started the baby stages . No its not till a man hits the 20 year mark with a same line of dogs that he is just beginning to hit the fruit of his hard work and when the line is becoming the line he foreseen.

Breeding a couple of liters does not make no one a breeder of great dogs , you may have some great dogs come out of the liter but the reason they are great is because of the men that bred the line and before you, this does not mean your gut feeling for breeding is for noting sure it helps but no your stamp does not start to appear until ten , fifteen years and if you ain't careful you will never have a stamp on a dog muchless a line of great dogs .
