Ron - The excuses I mentioned were the ones mentioned by BostonRott in here above post. The hypocrisy coming from her STICKY posted in this very breeding section about breeding partners should have show and working titles before being bred. It seems this only applies when one wants it to apply.

Excuse me but if you are purporting working dogs. Prove it. I assume your dogs are AKC registered. So you can prove their ability to track and be obedient in that venue without a competent helper since there's no bite work. Plus this board always says to do obedience and tracking before bite work. So still no excuse for no titles.

Ann - All the good stuff you said about working a dog to learn it's temperament is true and applied to the selection of a mate once you know the strengths and weaknesses of a bitch or dog. So why post a breeding on your site before a bitch is titled? It's redundant to what Ron has done complete with saying the bitch will be titled. Seems putting the cart before the horse. Plus applying the logic that ones needs to work the dog to know the dog how can this bitches owner select your stud dog as a match? Exceptions for some but not for all seems to set a bad example for a reputable breeder to set. These breedings both seem premature.
