And its funny Bert S said this because he had a brindle named Goober who was down from Red Jerry .Goober went on and produced Preacher who produced Joe Testament and Joe produced Uncle Bud.I believe he said it though Jack but he sure bred to a brindle named Goober and this is part of the family behind Uncle Bud..
I don't think Bert mentioned brindle dogs, though.Originally Posted by bamaman
No , I was just pointing out he did breed to one.Bert had his own way of thinking for sure.He also didn't believe in inbreeding and said that was for a lazy man who didnt want to look for the right stud dog lol.To each his own.
Bert S, is the man that said "Breed em tight, Breed em right."
IMO crossing would be what the lazy man would do who is expecting instant gratification than trying to see what that line has to offer when inbred .Much more time and effort into trying to cover all bases within a family bred tight.
well either way every breeding your gonna go threw dont matter how its bred if your really out performing with it sure keeping a tight family is hard work but its just as hard to cross the lines you like and make a family or a solid foundation from different crosses or surely just as hard there is line breeding as well that can be loose bred but tight on a few specific worthy dogs there is no holy grale to breeding or anything in these dogs its just alot hard work and dedication that will take you ahead the game no matter your methods to madness some methods work for one might not for the other
Love to see a example.
It was on his website before he closed it...
Honestly, the prejudice for color exists in dogs too.
And, just like people, there are a million "exceptions" to every rule ... and yet there are also certain tendencies as well.
I fell in love with the red/rednose Hollingsworth dogs ... yet my best producing dog, ever, was the buckskin/blacknose Poncho (who I based my entire line on).
When I got the chocolate Ouch, I didn't really like the seal color and I also didn't trust the bottom side of his pedigree (the Mexican Pete's 410).
When the seal Silverback was first born, and as he grew up, I never really used him much as a stud ... for quite awhile.
Silverback was built different from my main dogs, he fought different from my main dogs, and even though he was "highly talented," I didn't trust his stamina like I did my other studs at the time (U-Nhan-Rha / Icon).
Ultimately, however, I wound up selling the fabulous Icon and U-Nhan-Rha, and based the tail-end of my dog breeding career linebreeding on Silverback, exclusively.
I still believe in the "general rules" ... and I still have my biases ... but what's funny now is that, originally I preferred rednose dogs ... then buckskin dogs "that looked like Poncho" ... but now I am biased towards my dogs that look like Silverback
Ultimately, you should pick the individuals who look/act like THE DOG THEY'RE LINEBRED ON ... as most likely those are the ones who got his/her key traits ... although not always
The moral of the story is FOLLOW THE ABILITIES/GAMENESS you cherish first, and let color fall where it may
Jack
