breeding female,, hunt or not hunt??

My deuce gyp did not get bred until she was 4 years old even though the parents and grandparents all were consistant dogs, she had to prove that she was a consistant producing hogs in any situation, then I made dern sure I was ready to take on raising and working another pup for myself and I had enough other hunters to put the rest of the litter in their hands before I bred her. With out a combination of all of that, then I could easily pick up a well bred, sure good pup from someone else if I only wanted one ot two pups.
Being able to see and keep track of all my pups is just as important to see results/mistakes made in the breeding, so in a few more years when its that time ahain I iwll know if I am on theright track or I need to make adjustments, or that I need to quit the line all together.
I know of Ten or more dogs that I would love to own pups out of, that would not be as at risk of having a cull or mediocre dog I could get pups from, so I make dern sure I believe its gonna be right before I make he breeding, not just a good possibility. Thats just how I look at it.
