Okkie Dokkie !

just wonder where we would be now if the old timers hadn't kept up with the lineage of there dogs . wich is what registratoin papers are no more than . no papers don't make a dog the dog makes the papers . all this breeding the best to the best was kept up with by the papers thats is why they are important to most breeders, will you have culls ? hopefully if you're staying true to the purpose . wich is to document the lineage of the succeses . do some people go overboard on prices according to the lineage ? yes . do you have to buy it ? NO but are you going to be able to look for a dog of the TYPE you are looking for on account of anccestry and background on a dog of proven lineage ? yes plain and simple if you don't want to pay that extra for a dog with a history DON'T . accually hog doggin is a realitively new sport as far as lines go most our dogs now are cross overs from other game cows,bears,coons, you name it and only time will tell who's the best but even if you have grade dogs [ wich is most of mine ] keep up with the lineage as best you can . cause you might be the next super star in the dog world and have people wanting to pay you the BIG BUCKS for a pup that might make it and might not . all the lines we have today started out in someones backyard . BUT THEY WROTE DOWN AND KEPT UP with what breedings did what and what dogs had the best succses papers = lineage no more no less
