Hey, I'm Ollie!
Labrador Retriever first EEEE 15th of December 2022 Gen:4
Saarloos Wolfdog first EEEE 15th of February 2023 Gen:3
=======================================================================My process for breeding from a first generation:
=======================================================================Step 1: I breed for lala pups. This gives me a wider selection of pups to choose from later on.
Step 2: I selectively breed dogs for EEEE hips, elbows, eyes and ears. This is achieved by selecting dogs with as little hh genes as possible
Step 3: I breed for as many HH genetics as I can get. The more HH genetics, the healthier the dog is.
There are smaller details I keep in mind during this process, however this is the main outline. =======================================================================Most of my females will be bred at age 98 and 110 as this is where they will achieve the highest level possible in their 'lifetime'. If a dam is bred more than twice, their quality will decrease dramatically.
My males will be bred after level 5, as I do not believe the amount they are bred changes the litter quality, though please do correct me if I am wrong. I will, however, try to breed only my highest level, healthiest dogs.
=======================================================================If you found any of this helpful, please do consider supporting my experience by buying a dog from my kennel or, when I set one up, buying an item from my shop.
