So that is the question Is she handling herself. If that is the case then the
question becomes who do you think you can present the best.

When it comes to making a star, part of the formula is having a very good
jockey. You don¢t see any fat tubs of goo male owners or rich, blue haired old
ladies riding horses in the Kentucky Derby. A very good jockey is part of the
deal. Same with GSDs. Remember, we¢re talking STARS, not just dogs
that finish.

What I want to know is who is going to handle the dog. Is it going to be owner
handled?? If so then you need to keep the one that you think you can do the
best job with.

Date: Saturday, August 9, 2008, 8:15 AMBarbara -- Another big part of this
for me has to do with how we defineterms. In my definition, there are lots of
"really good ones" as youdefinethe bitch. By my definition, there never were,
are not now, and never willbe very many stars (as you define the male) at any
given time. Breeding astar is a GSD breeder's equivalent of winning the
lottery. You don'tlet goof that ticket. I hope my karma puts me in that
position during this turn ofthe wheel! tom elkinsFirethorn

'Showgsd-l'Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] What would you do? (scenario) OK, here's the
set up. You're a small breeder, maybe only breeding a litter or two every
other year. You breed your beautiful champion bitch to one of the top
producing males in the country. You can't wait for the litter to be born. You
plan on keeping your best bitch. After selling your pets, you are left with
two puppies; a bitch and a male. You decide to hold onto them until they're
four months. The bitch is a really good one, but the male is without question
a "star!" Now youcan only keep one as your husband has threatened you with
divorce. And, no keeping them both until they're six months old, is not an
option as the husband grows more irritable each day.
(I know what some of you are thinking right about now......get rid of the
husband. And no, that's not an option either). Now you know that you can
co-own either one of these puppies with someone, BUT you've been looking for
something great to show yourself for a long time. So here's the questions:
Knowing that the competition in bitches is usually the toughest, do you hold
onto the good bitch? The male is a "stand out" in every way. You didn't want
to hold onto a male, but this puppy is definitely making you have second
thoughts. Do you sell the bitch on a co-own and keep the boy because he's the
better of the two? (You may be thinking right about now, how about putting the
boy on a co-own.......but remember the breeder wants a top animal to show
herself). If you decide on the male, let me ask you this. How do you feel
about keeping a beautiful male that finishes his championship and then you have
to compete for stud services with
his well-known top producing sire? Alright so there you have it. What would
you do? Best,
