Youngsters

Let's see them young up n comers on the yard, folks 18 months n younger that are showing promise.

 

Is that a trick posting? According to a lot of guys on here since I joined a few days ago, a dog can't show "promise" or be a "good one" at 18 months lol. However, I know they can if you know what your looking at or looking for. What do you think Peon?

 

I said son, I can tell by the fire in his eyes the arch in his back the gait in his trot and the size of his balls if he is going to be a goodun LMAO.

 

Looooooooooooool

 

Saiyagin lmao!!! Awesome brother! Hilarious and true lol

 

That's why I said showing promise. I feel if you know the blood you are keeping you can tell if one is showing promise. Seeing one that's showing promise is in my opinion much different than knowing that a certain up n comer will without a doubt be a "good one". I have two youngsters that I believe to be showing promise. Doesn't mean that I'm positive they will infact be "good ones".

 

Although there are those that have proven to be good ones out there before they have reached 18 months of age.

 

Well I'm glad to hear you say that man. That's my logic also. Although I'm not the most knowledgable or have the most train and keen eye. I feel after half of my life being around these dogs and owning them, I can tell if a youngster shows promise or what a "good bulldog" is supposed to be as a adult. Especially if it's your own line as you said. If you can't, you really have no business breeding or anything else in my opinion. 18 months is plenty of time to show promise. Some just develope or show faster than others, then some take years. That to can depend on your line as im sure you all know. Some lines are known for late starters.

 

I completely agree, G4G. I'm sure folks with more experience like TDK n Dred need nowhere near 18 months to tell if one is showing promise.

 

i only say this because I have a dog about 2-1/2yrs old. I said he was a good one and I'm also going to see if he can produce and some fellas on here jumped all over it telling me that it's crazy to call a dog that age "good" let alone breed him. Problem I have with that, is not their opinion, that's perfectly fine. But they never laid eyes on this dog in person. So why pass that judgment I don't know. I mean, when you are sifting through a litter to pick out a pup. You pick the one that shows promise. Even at a couple months old. Why can't you tell that with a dog you been feeding for 2yrs? Otherwise, when you go to pick out a pup from a litter. Why not just get the pretty one? Because you "See" something inside the little fella that looks promising. Am I right or wrong?

 

It's your dog. If you feel he/she is a good one that's all that matters. What others have to say is of little or no value especially if they've never seen the animal in question.

 

I dont care if a dog shows me promise, what I care about is if he KEEPS that PROMISE. LMAO

 

Right on Peon. Fist bump! Haha.

 

I can dig it, Saiy.

 

TDK I agree and makes perfect sense. As far as what I was saying about seeing something in a pup, that was it. You just said it way better. And I've heard of folks ruining a good dog based on what you said with starting and maturing being a difference. I couldn't agree more with that to. Very sound advice buddy.

 

Once again, TDK, a very well writen and spot on post, my friend. Thanks for chiming in.

 

Good luck with them Peon !
