kennel blind vs Sticking with what you have

i have always been told my older dog men to "stick with what you have", but sometimes i hear "dont be kennel blind" in others words only limiting yourself to only one bloodline or kennel of dogs.

what your opinion this? do you stick with what you have, or dont be kennel blind and try out numerous lines

 

Kennel blind doesnt mean what you think it means.

It means you are not capable of seeing faults in ur own dogs. Which doesnt necessarily mean u need to try others, cuz most likely youll be kennel blind with them too. You just need to be more realistic with what you have.

 

This ... Doesn't matter what family or strain you are working with if you are not able to see the faults in what you are working with that will hinder you regardless of what you breed to. Don't be kennel blind really just means don't ever think there is never any room for improvement you should be able to look at your dogs objectively and identify what faults are there how you choose to improve upon what you have is really up to you but in order to fix or improve something you must first be able to see the problem once you see it a solution can be made.

 

I always say invest on knowledge first because whatever you see might not be what it seems if you can not make your own logical decisions on this dogs. Very good post by Grizz and Sadie.

 

Ding ding ding ding ding!!! Winner winner chicken dinner

 

ummmmm turkey? lol

 

nicely stated.

 

You don't have to give up what you have to add in what you need. If it's not broke don't fix it. But if it's need to be upgraded then add too & not take away from. http://www.apbt.online-pedigrees.com/modules.php?name=Public&file=printPedigree&dog_id=456182

..w.t.f...is this a new way of advertiseing ,in every thread....????...any-way's...ya have to improve all the time with what ya have even when this means introduceing some-thing new into your tool box...some just never improve no matter what help they ^ get............?????????????

 

Would like to see a few of your peds BLUE*BULL.

 

...i don't put peds up on any forum....or use any ped site...what i hear you say....yes thats right i still use a copy book+pencil.....but have some comeing thru nigerinno/fb...tonka.....etc/etc.....

 

BLUE8BULL If you didn't breed & work & breed them after they have proven themselves nigerino,FB , tonka etc, then don't talk about nigerino , Tonka.,etc. If your not FB then don't pose as FB. If you enjoy talking about folks & pedigrees , then be a man & show why you have such great opinions! where you base & get you knowledge from. You can buy every Patrick dog, Patrick sold. You are still not Patrick! We have done more work then we will ever show. done more things that we have ever talked about. But , when we try to answer a question we don't mind using our own work as reference! Because we have done 4 decades worth of work. So if don't mind. We would like to just share a little insite to whomever my want it with any childish stuff coming from someone not on our level. Our dogs have proven themselves in every way possible more times that anyone can count. There not house hold names . 90% of what we bred we kept in house!! 90%! And we have almost 90 registered breeding & around 20-30 more un-registered. You do the math on how many dogs we have dealt with, without letting most go to the open public. You & folks like you have sold way more dogs on average to the public then we ever had! Fact! But the reality is we have done more work then most did, just not told or sold as much. So can we please just do what were doing with out the childishness? Just giving out free info. That's all.

 

You asked a q i gave you an answer in saying some of the dogs i have their backrounds in the way their bred ..un-like you i'm happy+confident in who i'am...i'dont have to pump my-self or any dogs i have on a public forum or try and make money peddleing pups in a magazine....as matter of fact tell us about your great blue bitch/and makey up shows.....who/where.....ya have one friend for sure on this site....lol..lol...

 

Believe it or not ,I'm your friend BlUE8BUll!! We just got off to a rocky start!! Be blessed & have a great day!

 

...you have done more work than ya ever show ...ya got that right,,your pumping up peds trying to gey some novice to bite and maybe ask about something you peddleing.........lol..lol...tell us about the greats...then

 

BLU8Bull it's still quite a few folks out there with some of these dogs that would really , really just love to see you! Please go find them & get what ever is on your mind off!! Your more than welcome to share you actual experiences with them later!!!! You talk as if we said that there were none out there!! Go find you one son!!! Please & lets move on!

 

.....i'm not saying anything good or bad about them...i'm just asking about some off the shows they were in and won/r/lost...etc./etc......

 

Stick to your own dogs because you know them best you have already done the hard yards with them.

Don't be kennel blind- Know where your dogs lack and try to ad to them using different bloodlines or different dogs from the same bloodline.

The strongest form of kennel blindness, i have noticed in people, is where they have done some breedings and they believed deep in there little hearts that the breedings would work. Later to discover the breedings didn't work. Instead of accepting reality and changing course they just kept down the same path. This behavior will actual quit you....

Fact is you can be kennel blind if you want, however, unless you have struck upon some great dogs with luck, you will quickly have a yard full of shit.
