I know that I am talking to men who have dedicated their lives to learning and breeding gamedogs, and I am humbly doing so. Thank you.

I posted my original post about 1 hour after I bought my first subscription to this site. Thus didn't take the time to upload Red's ped. Sorry. I have since tried but ran into a problem with Reds dad being under two different names (or something), but I have reached out for some help...so as soon as I get that figured out ill upload his ped.

Jack I just read The 5 Keys to Success and it was truly an eye opening read. Thanks

I do love my dog. I have keep him away from the ppl who gave him to me who have begged me to let him hunt. I did not let them, due to me being afraid of him getting hurt. Recently he slipped his leash and ran into a neighbors pit/mix. He was happier than I ever seen him. I realized then that if I truly loved my dog, I need to let him hunt and show everybody how good of a hunting dog he is. That is when I started joining forums and trying to learn as much as I can.

I know that some ppl said "if ya have to ask strangers on the internet....." WELL not everybody is fortunate to have a true dogman at their side that they TRUST who has their best interest in mind.

By learning as much as I can, using the ONLY resources I have, I am doing the best I can to "manage the intangibles" by not letting someone let me put my dog to a hunt without his and my best interest at heart.

I now realize that time is not as crucial as I thought. Because dogs produce later in life than I thought. I have allot to learn and I will not breed him until I am ready.

Pics coming when I get home.

Thanks for all the help

Respectfully,
