Spoken for. Thank y’all

Just a few quick thoughts about something I'm passionate about..


If your breeding two dogs in hopes of getting something better than your starting with, then your starting with the wrong ones.  Breeding should be more about re-producing one or two great dogs, then trying to put something together and hope for the best.

Having said that, some breedings just won't work.  Can't be blind and make excuses for what happens.

Also have to breed for your own use.  No dog will ever please every hunter as we all have different expectations.  Best way if possible is to keep entire litters to evaluate.  Some will be better than others.  If you can't keep them all, try to find people who hunt exactly like you do.  If your breeding casting dogs, knowing how they hunt by being raised by someone who roads does you little good.


Evaluating dogs based on the next generation is different than evaluating based on simply which dog makes the best hunting dog.  For example, slow starters begat slow starters.  Just because a dog finishes out really nice doesn't mean I'm interested in breeding that dog if it took him/her three years to get there.  Then prepotency comes into play, etc...

Know that not all breedings and pups will make good dogs.  Have a goal, but know that the end result will be basically unobtainable.  There will never be complete litters of perfect dogs.

Listen to others and more importantly WATCH others.  Find out who's raising consistent litters of good dogs and pay attention to what they're doing. 

Understand that for every desirable trait you breed a dog for (especially in outcrosses) that your also bringing in all the undesirables.  Unfortunately breeding dogs isn't like mixing paint where you take a little of this and a little of that and end up with a perfect recipe.  As an example, know that you can't simply cross rough and loose and end up with something in between.  You may get a few, but the majority are going to be either rough...or loose. 

 


This post needs to be a sticky...excellent!!

I have a question...since this guy is getting a lot of good advice on this dogs ped, how do y'all feel about Boudreaux and garner bred dogs that so many hunters use and love as catchdogs? Can we please talk about why some feel so strongly, either position you're coming from...

Here's one were starting to use a good bit now that he has gotten older and calmed down he is a great great grandson of pistol Pete and Cochise

Nice! Can you post a ped?

"A man's ego is a heavy burden for a dog to carry"

I don't know who said this, maybe one of y'all, but I remembered it the very first time I read it. Very true.

Buddy, I guess I will have to break my comments down for you, like a small child.

1) Touché: used as an acknowledgement during a discussion of a good or clever point made at one's expense by another.

I told you to google that! The comment was at your expense because you explained to me what "assume" meant after you "assumed" that those dogs got taken by a 40oz drinking, gold teeth having thug, took those dogs.

2) Michael Jackson went from black to white. Nothing I can do there...

3) I was sarcastically profiling by asking you if you thought a black man would steel 2 dogos. Blacks are stereotypically scared of dogs, much less 2 grown dogos.

Charles, please read this and try to let your tiny mind take it all in. Respond in 3 days after someone can interpret it for you, thanks!

Fill us in, all knowing.

What happened to them charles?

Don't get me wrong, I'm very happy he found his dogs and equally as disgusted that you and I share the same race. Do you think a black man would take 2 grown dogos? That IS profiling.gtfoh

You might have to google that one, charles

Touché, haha

I'm on the  edge of my seat waiting to hear where they were. The whole post seemed like I was listening to this, lol.

Awesome, would love to see some pics.

How are the littermates to rose coming along in your hunting program, ms. Krystal?

That was a very well bred gyp. Rip

Sorry for your loss. Was this her?

And just for fun, prove to me that he was the tightest bred chinaman dog on the planet, please... Can we see some statistics? Not what tom told you, statistical fact. Are you aware that there are other chinaman dogs with no frisco? Obviously a seasoned dog woman such as your self can back up what you say without flying off the handle.

I was just stating a fact. Frisco was no where near the caliber of dog chinaman was. I never saw the meat dog but just by looking at his pedigree he was a frisco dog rather than a chinaman dog.  Frisco was a chinaman cross... I don't doubt what tom told your husband but if you think meat was the tightest chinaman dog on the planet you are mistaken. I don't know everything, never claimed to. You're obviously touchy about facts so have a great evening! Good luck! I like the breeding. Feed em up.

Being a tight bred chinaman dog is a lot different than being the tightest bred chinaman dog on the planet. That's what you said. That is untrue. He was a frisco dog and that is a fact. Triple bred... Frisco was not chinaman... No where close. Thanks
