Good cross?

Excellent post Birdslayer86…

The problem I perceive happening in breeding better hunting dogs are several…

Some folks have different standards as to what a good to great hunting dog is and breed accordingly…and that is why there are so much inconsistencies when breeding hunting dogs…

Someone buys a pup with a few grand champions in the pedigree and pay lots of money for the pup…the pup doesn't make a dog worthy of breeding but gets bred anyway to recover some of their losses…

It's not easy finding a top-hunting bloodline that hunts as we like or with the consistency that we like…

And it is getting harder to find big enough places to hunt and train…this in itself is a challenge in proving dog performance for many hog doggers...
