Opinions on Dual Purpose Pups
Posted: Wed Dec 14, 2005 3:29 pm
I bred my first litter this October & am looking for some unbiased opinions. The purpose of this litter was to get potential dual purpose hounds with great temperaments. I'm trying to pick the pups that fall into the middle ground. They may not be the best, but they at least seem to have a little bit of everything.
These pics were taken @ 7 weeks, pups are now 9 weeks. These are the two I am most seriously thinking of keeping on. BTW, in the stacked pic of the 2nd pup, no, his nose does not really have a bump in it! I took those pics in my kitchen and as (rotten) luck would have it, the tea kettle handle was directly behind his head, lol.
So, judging from those pics, if you were me and wanted to keep a dual purpose hound that had a good shot in the conformation ring (ARHA or UKC) which would you be more inclined to keep?
