Darkrai Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 Im looking at doing a litter later this year, but I don't like the heads... i know a dog doesn't run on it head, everything below the head i like very much, both have traits i like and love, but again the head... I dunno what answers im looking for just thinking out a loud... Think i need to see them again to check the out again... *sigh* sydney Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aziah Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 I guess you really need to do your research What are the heads like behind each of the dogs and if they've been used are they producing their own head or not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkySoaringMagpie Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 Afghan or Poodle? If it's an Afghan it might not run on its head but it should be able to do the job with its head - ie, kill a rabbit or hare. Punishing jaws and all that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkrai Posted June 1, 2010 Author Share Posted June 1, 2010 I have done my research Aziah and dwindled it down to 2 with a possible 3 in reserve (except one is o/s )... I know the background of both dogs seen other offspring from both their sire and seen the extended siblings etc... Yeah afghans, im very picky and i don't know if im being very picky with these to dogs, from what remember one dog has a fine head, but the line also has houndly heads behind too, the other i think has pink haws, but cannot remember if he does or not hence on wanting to see them again... but he also has a very nice head, well to me he does, although pink haws are frowned apon they aren't a fault... Both these dogs I can line breed back to my bitch... The other 3 are straight up out-crosses... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hilaryo Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 Yes, its not easy deciding which dog to use with all of the factors that must be considered. How good is your bitch's head? Is the stud strongly line-bred/in-bred? Or for that matter is your bitch? Good luck picking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkrai Posted June 2, 2010 Author Share Posted June 2, 2010 my bitches parents are half siblings same Dam... The sire of the one im favouring, his sire is litter sibling to my girls dam... Both dogs have a well built pedigree breeding, both lines and dogs would compliment my girl very well, which makes it harder lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
