I have not posted on here for a long time so please bear with me.
Quite often we hear or read that a breeder is not satisfied with the results, however, how many breeders look into the right direction for the answers? Very few I think. It comes down to the blame game, usually pointed at the stud dog first.
I always took the view in that I had to really look at the quality of my females and what their failings were. Were they typical of my females mother in temperate, type and construction. If the two females were obviously mother and daughter then I look further back in the blood lines to see whether what I had was dominant through out. In my opinion this is something to do before seeking a stud dog. If it is very strong then finding a mate becomes more difficult. We have to remember that it takes ttwo to tango and reject the blame to who should not be made too soon.
Do not be deterred because the male is not VA or of high placing at the Sieger Show. Time has shown that even top dogs, male or female, have not lived up to the show ratings. I believe that the strength of the breed rests with the breed comes from the females.
To get the good producers takes time and good research by the wannabe to become good breeders.
I hope that this post will produce more contributors as a start to this thread.
