Breeding decisions...good and bad

Mark, I agree with you 100%. In my opinion,.....waaaaay too many want to have a litter of pups out of ole' Stem-winder and their buddy's female that is out of his brother in law's sister's nephew's step-dad's dog that was reportedly a hog finding machine, but is now dead and nobody they know has ever actually hunted with that dog. These are not dog people, merely people that have dogs.

If there were more folks as critical about breeding as you, there wouldn't be so many culls floating around either dead or alive. I'm just not for breeding a pair of dogs that are unproven just to see what you get. So I say...hold your ground brother,....if someone wants to breed to Monkey, then they should have no qualms about letting you see the female work on the woods. This is merely my opinion...I'm no dog breeder and never will be....but I've raised a few litters in my time and seen way too many beedings that should never have taken place....in my opinion.
