I also like to see any serious breeder pursue some sort of title on the dog that says they can take training.....JH does not tell me a thing....If a dog cannot take training it should not be bred IMO. This is just something we feel is important to build a line on
What this has to do with a puppy contract or the subject at hand I have no clue seems more of a critism on my upcoming litter , i wasnt going to bother responding to it as same as I also attempted to ignore many other negative comments from people in this thread. I always try to be respectful of people who have done well for the breed like yourself and also respectful of anyones breedings.
But the more i thought about it the more it bothered me and since ya threw a dig on my upcoming litter out there I feel the need to respond to it ,and a bit offended
No disrespect intended but the titles are great to see on dogs it lets you know what the dogs producing the litter is capable of and may even give you an idea of what the parents excell in , however A dog trained by a professional also tells me nothing of a dogs natural abilities , other than it has the ability to be turned into a great dog by a pro trainer...perhaps the dogs natural abilities lack but the trainer is real good ...I have seen dogs with impressive titles that i personally wouldnt want to own or hunt with , let alone breed I have also seen great untitled dogs that I would to give my left arm to own and breed ...IMO
unfortunately I am not a professional trainer , and also not too worried about winning titles ,I am a hunter, its fun to do, play games if i have the extra time and money , but i am a avid hunter and these dogs hunt and do it well enough even with my poor training skills from their natural abilities that I have several people who have hunted behind them that expressed they want a pup ..they also do it well enough I believe they will produce excellent pups ..
anyone who is familiar with a westwind a dog knows, if they are one thing its they are highly intellegent very bidable and easily trainable, even by an amature with little or no training skills ..
So because my dogs lack high titles earned after being trained by a pro doesnt mean they wont make excellent hunting dogs or that they wont produce pups that are easily trainable or have the potential to produce high titled dogs in the future , that just depends on who buys them who and how they train them and if they wish to play the games or not. I encourage people to play the games but a title or no title is not what is important to me to decide if a dog is a breedable dog or not .
everyone has there own criteria for breeding and or buying a pup..I certainly dont knock or attempt to Knock on anyones breedings in public even though many i disagree with if it was a really good breeding or not by my own personal criteria..IMO
