Hi limey , i dont see were you think that whatever you say i will find a way to argue witj you i think i was very clear in my post, and i can see by the reaction of others that they also feel that it would be interesting to hear why you feel the stud fee on kingpin is worth the $2.700 fee ,plus the extra costs associated with a breeding as you will only accept breeding from outside the whole of europe ,which means anyone wanting to breed to knigpin would neeed to spend at least $6000 and maybe upt0 $8000 depending on shipping and unforseen vets costs etc , so i think as this is not a normal circumstance and cost for breeding to a dog , especially a dog with no record of any kind ,that maybe you could explain it to us as so far it looks like you are avoiding having to answer ,and the only reason i can think of would be becasue you really cant justify the stud fee and the rules you lay out for breeding to him so you decide to avoid answering at all.
On another point about the rules you impose to breed to knigpin as to who can breed to him and what females etc, i know as in the case of the stud fee you can impose whatever rules you wish ,but i say this to you and others who also impose various restrictions as to who and what etc when studing out thier dog, it is a false feeling to think that if you let out your blood close to you that you will somehow loose the monopoly on that blood, as especially today with all the ways of geting a breeding to a dogs via fresah or frozen semen apart from just buying a live pup or dog from someone who may already have had a dog or breeding from a breeder like you , it seems futile to impose restrictions like that at all, and secondly if a dog is a true producer he should produce with any female no matter how she is bred , that is what a prepotent dog is and of course you would expect a dog to produce even better with similarly bred or family bred females , but we should not be afriad to breed to whoever has the money to want a breeding to any female, as this allows the dog to show his true producing potency and if he is a true prepotent producer then that will also increase his chance of having a very good producing record ,so those breeders should believe more in the blood they use and stud out,and not be affraid to let anyone breed a female which may not be bred the way you or they like to him for fear that afterwards the word is that the dog isnt a producer , and only try to breed to females you or they think will enhance his record ,this type of thinking in breeding should be saved for our own personal breedings , but i say breed them females and lets see if a dog is a true prepotent male or just average and not panic if its the latter turns out to be true.
