How does a breeder determine which of his bitch puppies will be sold as
a brood bitch or a pet? I've seen pictures of brood bitches that look
like pets. So what's the difference? Is it one outstanding quality
that the brood bitch has that makes a breeder decide to use her for
their breeding program? And how about that pet.......could she not also
produce well coming from the same bloodlines? Best wishes, Barbara
I'm thinking and I can't come up with anybody who sells a puppy as a
potential brood bitch. Maybe the exception would be one from a super pedigree
that
was a coat and a fellow breeder wanted it for their program, but that's about
it. Seems to me, people are keeping fewer dogs, so the ones they'll keep
are the potential in the ring AND in the whelping box. You ask "could the pet
produce well coming from the same bloodlines?". Certainly, but if there is a
wide range of quality in the litter, the good one could also produce a lot
of pets.
You say you see a lot of pictures of brood bitches that look like pets.
Part of this could be that people buy a bitch for show with high expectations
and when she doesn't turn out, they are advised "take her home and breed her".
Once in a while, they may get lucky.
