You are right Mr. Jack. I really don't understand the wrights coefficient yet. But I am diligently studying it every day. But what I do understand everything you said about breed standard. I will certainly take your advice on everything you took the time to tell me. I truly appreciate you for all the knowledge you can pass to me. I guarantee it will not fall on deaf ears. The 3 dogs I chose for my foundation dogs are from a proven three time winner. 2 are litter mates and one is a half brother to them. I produced one litter with the half brother/sister that was all uniform in size and color. I kept 3 and give 2 to close friends. Then just the other day I bred the full brother/sister. Although none are proven themselves. I will take the offspring and put them through the vigors of testing. The way I see it, the odds of them producing quality offspring is good enough that I don't have to risk the lives of my foundation dogs. And if I'm not satisfied with the qualities I see I will try an outcross. A very good "Ace" that my friend owns. Then again, if that don't pan out, I'll start over from scratch. I am a patient man. I will continue until I succeed. Now keep in mind, this is not an attempt to contridict you in any way. Im only trying to show you where my train of thought is. That way you can get a better idea of who I am and what I'm about. I am a beginner in the area of breeding.But at the same time I am extremely patient in the aspect of finding those special dogs that can consistently win. So no more breedings will take place until I am satisfied with what I have or I am satisfied that their qualities are inferior, at that point I go to my outcross. And also just to share a little about myself, I am not interested in selling puppies.At all. Everything I produce is for the advancment of Muddog APBT Kennels. I thought long and hard and searched high and low for my foundation dogs. And also put alot of time and energy into how I would start this program. I thought about it so much that my wife said I am "obsessed". But I'm ok with that because I love my dogs and the APBT breed. Greatest breed on earth. I am a student to the old timers and the guys who have proven themselves and thier programs, such as yourself. So I am humble at heart, and in any way you feel I am absolutely wrong please share with me what is wrong and the steps I should take to fix it.
Sincerely,
