Bryant, what did or would you look for in a dog or dogs to start youre breeding. Was it one good that was everything or a few really good ones. Thanks
It was a line of really good ones. The line a hunting partner of mine has raised for a long while. I watched him breed and have nearly a 100% success rate with what he was producing until I felt some of the crosses were beginning to be too tightly bred due to signs of inbreeding depression. So, I took dogs from that line and started making my own crosses which resulted in two outcrosses. So far, the majority have met or exceeded my expectations. I plan to take pups from those outcrosses back to the original line.
I cringe at the thought of ever having to start over.
