Re: [RC] [RC] JRT Puppies - Deanna German

99% of the time?you cannot?own the *best* stud
for all your bitches. Think about it.
?
This is so true. To me (I have been involved in showing dogs since 1956) it is
always a red flag when someone advertises "both parents on premises". To me
that means puppy mill, unless that stud dog has a win record, either in
conformation and/or some type of performance events.
?
Well, maybe not a puppy mill, but probably a backyard breeder.

Hold on a second if any of you object to that statement. Here's where it's
logical to have both the dog and the bitch on the premises.

In a dog breeding program that has existed for several generations, perhaps
the breeder has been breeding towards that magical stud and the magical
bitch. They *should* be trying to do that. In that case, they might have
both on the premises. (Or at least own both even if one resides elsewhere
most of the time.) BUT THEY DON'T TELL PEOPLE OR ADVERTISE THEY HAVE BOTH ON
THE PREMISES! Because it's not significant. The long-term breeding program
is. As a puppy buyer, make sure their breeding program produces what you
want.

If a breeder is making having both parents on the premises a selling point,
run the other way!!!

Um, trying hard to make this endurance related, but having trouble thinking
of something.... other than breeding is breeding, endurance horses or dogs!
