That is interesting, good find.

 

thanks for the post. interesting read.

 

Here the original post not recycled blog. With the link.

 

good broodbitch is feminine ... of finer build, a light and pretty head with a smaller and thinner neck, lots of nobility, but also depth for growing pups. You should be able to recognize a good broodbitch at 100 meters and not find it necessary to look between her hips to tell her sex. Often I have seen young bitches which looked like grown males receiving much attention and being considered as future outstanding broodbitches. These bitches never lived up to expectations.
And then there is Herta von der Maylust who was considered a "cat" at shows because of her fine build and light bone structure and was advised not to be bred because (it was thought) she would only produce poor small puppies. Yet Herta is a Stamm (original ancestor) mother behind many of our great dogs today.

DOES THIS APPLY TO ALL BROODBITCH? TNX.

 

no it don't aply to all. brood is a lot of different things to a lot of different people. the best on the yard is brood to me regardless of confermation. 4 legs & a tail is good enough for me.

 

Good point sir. tnx

 

I was told as a young boy that good breeding, lies with the mother line, and I agree, at the same time, you have to have top too - atleast something that will correct the faults, that you wish to rid yourself of.
