if you have to cull alot to start with you have a long long ways to go with a very big maybe attached to get to a consistancey..... 90% of breedings are bred on looks .....only way to get away with breeding that way is to have extremely line bred dogs to start with ....
Mr. Parker.....I have a question and by no means do I want it to sound argumentative or any thing along those lines. It's just a question and you've got a lot of knowledge so I would like your opinion.
I KNOW the best way to produce quality hunting dogs on a regular basis and in a short amount of time is breeding best to best and if you have a good line going then line breeding is the way to go.
My question is this:
Do you think all hunting breeds were started by the above mentioned method and the way they turned out (color and confirmation) was just a by product of the way they were bred, just luck of the draw perhaps? Or did they get bred in the above methods but at the same time considerations were taken and breeding partners were chosen not just concerning abilities but color/confirmation as well?
