For it to be a success what does it take as far as the pups are concerned.  Percentage good dogs? Onr great dog? What does it take for you to consider it a success is what im asking?

what i like to consider a successful breeding, is when the whole litter is "average" or better.
by average, i mean consistant, solid type dogs that will go out and do their job when asked without many complaints. they may have a hole in them here or there, and they may not be superstars, but they are honest and get the job done. at the end of the day, if the least pup in the litter can do that, i consider it a successful breeding. of course, that doesn't mean i'm NOT trying to raise litters with a high percentage of above average pups.

breeding right can give you a high percentage of good dogs... oftentimes 100 percent turn out rate...but my belief is best to best from within a tight bred line of dogs...

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...

times two.


i am raising dogs to use. if i have to spend the time to make a breeding, whelp a litter, and raise a litter of pups just to get a couple of good ones out of the bunch (which would also mean more time, work, and money spent going through them all), with the rest being mediocre or less, i'm not doing my job raising dogs to use. the least dog in the litter has got to be a dog that gets the job done pretty solidly.

it really bothers me to get "duds" in a litter, i don't care how good the best one in the litter is, i'm going back to the drawing board to figure out what went wrong, and how to correct it to prevent it from happening on future crosses.

IMO if u get atleast one good dog out of a litter then it was a success.
