Thus I need to figure out where that came from and eliminate it , but he's very healthy thus he'd make a very nice pet quality I assume??
(though one of the pups had a very good ear set, the third questionable)
But if I don't show, then the lines will gradually appear to be diminished due to no champions (no show/no champions) correct? However, they will still have the potential to be high quality dogs, just no 'shows' to back them up???
Bear with me here, I'm still working on getting a complete handle on the show aspect/outcome on the dogs, etc.
Thanks so much again for everyone's input. |
I think I mentioned to you about taking the Carmen Battaglia, breeding better dogs seminar. He teaches recessive and dominant genes....how to read the pedigrees and put the right 2 dogs together. Your best bet would find a quality bitch, with a great pedigree (line bred of course) that has great ears......it will take a few generations but, it can be done.
