I don't understand how next step 'is prob biggest step in breeding' when as of now you got a crossed up jumble...seems like doubling down or tightening up would be biggest next step to me....
I think we have all culled plenty a dog and pup and spent a pretty penny doing so...
Comes a time if your gonna breed dogs seems like ya gotta try n make some chicken salad if ya catch my drift
because it will be the first step in linebreeding/inbreeding...the female I choose will hopefully produce a good female pup that will be bred back to the sire if he keeps progressing as he has...these are long term goals...
