Brunie's Mom...I did notice you have posted to other litters announcements in the past that are not 100% to the criteria you have held me to. Maybe a change of heart since those posts, I dunno, although you (and everyone) is perfectly free to voice their concerns. I don't mind people being passionate about an issue...just be consistent. |
Well I think my criteria has changed.
I think because we are always telling newbies that come here what to look for when selecting a breeder.....that we should practice what we preach.
I know that I expect a lot more from the sire and dam of my next puppy....as we all should.
I still don't understand why someone that is going to breed their dog should not try do do it all??? Why not be open about their health certs...? Why just post the certs that have passed??
Why not have anything on a dog you are going to breed besides health certs and knowing that the dog is good on the field?
Why should a dog not be judged on conformation? Why not show it in a Sieger show? I'm just saying this in general....not finger pointing at you.
How much extra time and energy does it take? I agree, a Championship is not a criteria for breeding....but it's at least a way to know that the dog fits the standard. Maybe there is different criteria for working Rottweilers?? do they just have to be able to bite?
Anne is right you cannot take credit for a dog because of it's pedigree...I think each dog must be proven.
I am ignorant about breeding. Never bred, and never plan to.
Sorry if it looks like I am picking on you.
We get breeding announcements often...and when I'm looking at them, I've often wanted to post and ask why the bitch has no titles.....but I guess I was too polite.
Good luck with your breeding.
