The ideal that "most the best things in life are not overly planned they just happen" is great philosophy for breeding.  LOL

Lol oconee that's a terrible breeding plan. But you know as well as I do the harder you try sometimes the further away you actually get from your goal slower is faster. If we took some of these breeding programs any put them in to financial terms we would all be rich lol                                                                    Ruben I am working with sandbank slayer aka Mitch on breeding my tex cd he is a berry above average dog in and out of the game. I believe in putting up or shutting up when I get these pups I am going to hand a few out of my share of the litter I would value  these at 300 all day long on ability of my dog alone. This breeding will be with in the same family of dogs I go by what I see not what I read what I am saying is your welcome to a pup if you would like

I don't think a man should buy a pup to breed. I think first priority should be buy a dog to hunt. Cull accordingly. In the end if the now dog has shown itself worth breeding then and only then should breeding enter the equation.

No house pet but is out of the same line I would expect nothing different out of her if she was put in the game. From talking to Mitch he has told me that they have been very constant on all levels I would put my last dollar on it.

if I have a choice between buying a well bred pup from many generations of good dogs that is equal to the scatter bred pup I will have to go with the well bred pup for 2 reasons...

1. I have a better chance of having a hunting dog that has the potential to reproduce itself if need be...and even if the scatter bred pup turns into an above average hog dog...what percentages of hunting dogs per litter can be expected from this dog to reproduce?

the first dog gives you flexibility while the other only brings hunt to the equation...I have already contemplated that scenario many years ago...when we are limited to how many dogs to keep we want to strive towards getting both options in every dog in the kennels...
