Thread: What to breed to

Yes of course a line may have been dulled natural ability wise but that given size of our working dog pool in NZ for example you'd have that sorted before a breeding one hopes --even me who knows little of the best combos to mix would have that sorted.
I have watched handlers who you know have less nouce than a brick and probably would do better in a show ring with their animal --they wont ever bring out all the natural ability the dog has to offer

you cannot blame the dog for that...but if the dog has prey drive he can and will expose this...one of the things I find mystifying I must say is that so so many people, indeed people I consider who should know awhole lot better...NEVER REALLY OBSERVE THEIR DOGS WHEN THEY ARE IN THE ROUGH...watch your dog and you will learn more about him and how he/his breed work...its stuff not found in books or on Utube.
