At the beginning we can breed a few different type dogs to get tighter mouths or a certain size or whatever we think we need in reaching our goals...but at some point we should see what we like and go forward with the plan...

Again “in my opinion “ we do not use the first dogs as our hubs for breedings...they are stepping stones towards a purification...meaning cleaning up the gene pool...after 3 generations of what we consider the best we can select one stud dog to breed most of the time when he proves himself in the breeding pen...I consider the female just as important as the male and more so for other reasons...that is why I believe the female should be bred very few times until about the 4th or 5th generations...because she needs to be turned over for the next generation female to be bred...this turn over rate further purify’s the gene pool...what we should be breeding for is in producing a very high percentage of pups that will be above average hunting dogs...dogs that can reproduce themselves in the breeding pen...

Training dogs is not about quantity, it's more about timing, the right situations, and proper guidance...After that it's up to the dog...
A hunting dog is born not made...
