Many times, as a breeder we must make decisions that may look crazy to the outsider yet strategic to us. It is our job to make the best decision for the next 4 generations of our breed. You may ask “how do you figure that our one decision will affect the next 4?” Well simply put, we breed our pair which has 8 pups. Out of those 8 pups 4 are sold as pets to be spayed or neutered, 2 have been sold as show dogs, 1 sold as breeding stock, 1 breeders pick. The show dogs will be shown trying to become grand champions and if they are studs, most likely they have been breeding twice since becoming a champion. The breeding stock, umm yea BREEDING STOCK, oh yea and breeders pick most likely to breed to keep the blood going. Then from this 1 generation you can possibly have at least 4 litters which makes generation 2, then the cycle repeats and repeats quickly reaching the next 4 generations. So once again our decisions must be the best possible decision for the next 4 generations of our breed.
See I’m a little uneasy sometimes because too often people
call breeding these animals a game, like its candy land or something. Well to me and others like me, dogs are a part
of who I am, not saying that it consumes me, but it completes the person I am
still growing to be. When I learn more about or get around them I can find
myself going into some type of euphoria, yet somewhat vulnerable which I am
happy to know about myself (GUARD UP). I for one could never understand the
mindset of many who breed what they do and try to push the exceptional as
superior. See I have learned that I can’t focus on what they do too much
because it may cloud the vision of my God Given Gift. What I can do though, is continue
what I have been saying better yet doing, PRACTICE WHAT I PREACH. No better way
to end this short rant, practice what you preach without pointing your finger
in the wrong direction, when it simply should bend right back to you.
