Question for those "in the know" I once heard that there is a name or word to describe a bitch that throws puppies that look exactly like her. Does anyone know what I'm talking about? I haven't heard the term used in years and I'm trying to remember it. TIA |
intresting i dont know good luck with you answer |
name My father bred Boxers whne we lived in the UK..the English called a stud who reproduced him self over and over..a "Nick"..not sure of spelling. In the US, we use the term prepotent..never heard a term for bitches... |
term Prepotent probably can refer to either sex.. |
I dont know the answer to this but when breeding my female boxer every other litter looked just like her. |
Actually, a "nick" is a puppy that is superior to either parent. Prepotent is properly used for either sire or dam. |
I was told that a Nick is when athe combination of a certain dog mated to a particular bitch results in offspring that are superior to either of the parents. Prepotent dogs are ones that have a double dose of a particular gene and are therefore likely to pass that trait on to it's offspring. |
I don't know either, but can't wait to find out the word for today. |
answer Thank you Sally... I still have Uk friends who use the term.."a Nick of a stud"...so I am thinking they mean the dog himself and it actually means the results of the breeding. |
