Honestly I can't I have bred 6 litters (6th coming up) , this year I have known this breed for 30 years , bred my first litter in 2000Originally Posted by CA Jack
Cmon, you're telling me you have no idea which pups are going to be the best?
You're telling me you get it wrong more than right?
That damned sure isn't the case when I breed dogs.
IMO, anyone who really knows dogs knows which pups are superior, and at a very early age.
And anyone who knows how to breed dogs, does so in a way that he repeatedly gets litters with high-percentages of at least pretty good dogs, some really good.
In fact, the person who CAN'T tell which pups are going to be superior, and who CAN'T reliably produce above-average litters is NOT a good breeder (or dogman) IMO.
Seriously, how can you call such a man "good" at breeding ... he's basically an average, clueless retard?

I have never been able to tell which one will turn out, If I have to pick , I just pick on looks.
I like the bulldog types and I love the color brindle
Come to think of it , I am not a breeder , the choice to start breeding came out of necessity ( I figured I could not do worse than the ones I was buying) , I am just down to the third generation and I only breed when I need something.
to give you a picture of where I stand
I have a litter on the way because I have 4 empty spaces ( the dam is almost 5 and is her first litter , might even be her last)
my last litter was 4 years ago
I hope to get 4 males and if there more I get rid of the rest
So and this an assumption
I think if you breed quite a lot and see a lot of those pups than you might develop some sense of which may turn out
so I breed far less to actually develop that sense
