I don't know Randy Wright, but I think he could sell ice to the Eskimos......
That's a pretty bold statement, don't you think. Do you base your assesment on the fact that you have owned and raised some of his pups and they weren't worth two squirts of urine, or simply due to the fact that he sells a lot of pups? Fact of it is, is that his DOGS sell his dogs...not his advertising or sales pitch.
Some of the posts on this thread are just straight ignorant. Some of you think that simply because a person breeds a lot of dogs, or sells their pups that they are the devil. I see absolutely nothing wrong with making a little extra money off something you have devoted your life to, and basically have "mastered" if you will.
Why don't some of you go to your doctors office and tell the man that because he has mastered the technique, and that he transplants hearts (commercially, and on a daily basis heaven forbid) for a living that you think he should do it for free and that it's just plain wrong that he makes a living with his knowledge.
Guys...it's just as simple as this. In the dog breeding world, repeat customers are the tale-tell sign. Speaking directly of Randy Wrights dogs (because those are the only ones I have PERSONAL experience with), I think some of you should call the State of Lousiana and tell them that their official state bear dogs are straight up BS dogs because they came from a commercial breeder. Then when you finish that call, get the state of New Jersey on the line, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice on the line, and the THOUSANDS of END USERS who have been buying and using his dogs for the past 20+ years and tell them the same thing. Heck, I can name a BUNCH of users just on this board alone that have his dogs and LOVE them.
In fact, I personally just sold one to Cull Buck on here. Ask him what he thinks of the dog. Is he a super-dog? By no means...but I would say he's far better than 90% of what's out there being traded around.
The question was asked...how do you determine if a litter was a success. In my opinion, it boils down to this. If I'm breeding for myself (which I just did, and in fact have my first personal litter on the ground now), and the pups perform as I had hoped then I'm satisfied....it was a success.
