    Long term breeding plans/bloodline questions

    Some things to think about..... What is the COI for each male? What will be the COI for the aunt/nephew breeding? Generally its 12.5%, the same for half siblings, but it can higher. Since this is s "half aunt" and not a true aunt its only 6.25%. How tight do you want to go/willing to go over...

    Dumbest dog related thing you've heard all day

    Raven yeah I can never understand that. Non sense. Dixies mom i can so tell she just looks so miserable in your sig. One thing I read today was in a thread about wolf hybrids. One person wrote (in relation to them being dangerous wild animals) their friends foxes are proof vs their...

    Working bred, Performance Bred

    Hmmm Kat that is interesting view too. Also how many hound breeders find those that don't make the cut a pet home? If a failure isn't going to be a pet its irrelevant that it has a pet temperament. The other pups will be kept given, traded or sold to other hunters from the start. Seems...

    Livestock Guardian Dogs?

    Imo socializing won't hinder their ability. Some don't social but it sure doesn't hurt. They are there to protect against predators. Sometimes man too (where I lived before it wasn't an everyday thing but some will steal a goat for meat), and they will still protect their charges and property...

    Working bred, Performance Bred

    Good post Dekka. I agree, I want a dog that's good in the house, can calm down. Though in some breeds its viewed as normal by some that the breed doesn't settle so much. Like Malinois, though I've known some which settle fine (show lines), map in the house, lay on the couch with the kids...

    Livestock Guardian Dogs?

    I dont know about common breeds but will tell you about Caucasian Ovcharka and Kangal. Yes they are raised around the stock for best outcome. I think socializing can be important for a balanced dog. One that can be taken in puclic without issue. Any dog may need to go to the vet, ect...

    Working bred, Performance Bred

    There are very few working Cane Corso as in police k9, hog hunting actual work but there are a few. Though a performance bred dog can still suit your needs which is performance sport or whatever you want to call it. Basically they can be bred for one but do the other. My CC is from show...

    Breeding out DA

    I would say not a good idea. A big reason would be a drastic decrease in the (breeding) population which would cause a very limited gene pool. I believe the majority of APBT are DA. You have other considerations of what is important. Working ability, drive, health, structure, temperament. . ...

    Change in color preferences?

    I think mine have stayed the same. I like different colors on different breeds though. I love brindle. I don't much care for black except on a Cane Corso. In Pits I like black & tan, chocolate & tan, any brindle (black or red nose) as favorites.

    Which collar!?

    Since I just joined I don't really know what your dog looks like so much but I think #4 looks cool. It also seems great for a boy.
