OK... EVERYONE DOWN ON ONE KNEE AND PRAY THAT LAINIE IS PREGNANT... WALTER CERTAINLY HAS TRIED.. WITH 3 TIES-- I HAVE OFTEN SAID WE HAVE NEVER HAD AN AI BE SUCCESSFUL AND NEVER HAD A NATURAL BREEDING FAIL.. WHICH IS NOW NOT TRUE... WE HAD ONLY ONE NATURAL NOT "WORK" YELLOW AND GABBY'S TIE WAS NOT SUCCESSFUL
WE ARE BEHIND SCHEDULE BY 5 WEEKS ---- MOMMY NATURE HAS BEEN ON VACATION... WE NEED TO BREED ONE FEMALE WHEN HE OHER IS WHELPING WE ARE READY FOR RENEE AND REGINA TO COME IN... APPARENTLEY GABBY IS DUE IN HEAT IN JULY-- SHE WOULD PROBABLY BE BRED TO BENTLEY..HAVING SPENT HOURS POURNG OVER BLOODLINES AND STATISTICS AFTER THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS MEETING.. I WAS DELIGHTED TO FIND AUDRY IS NOT SPAYED...
AUDRY IS----- IN OHIO--- SCARLOTT AND BENTLEY --- AND PRETTY WHITE-- SO BEFORE EVERYONE COMES DOWN ON MY NECK FOR BREEDING WHITE..........I WENT BACK TO THE COLOR CHART WHICH I HAVE FOUND TO BE PRETTY ACCURATE IN PREDICTING LITTER COLORS AND PERCENTAGES... WILBUR IS BLACK-- IS JASPER AND MISCHA-- WHICH MEANS THE PUPS WOULD HAVE BENTLEY X SCARLOTT 3 GENERATIONS BACK... NOT TOO BAD...
PER THE CHART ... ASSUMING AUDRY IS WHITE HARL ( SHE DOES HAVE A FEW SPOTS) AND WILBUR IW BLACK WITH WHITE , THAT IS ACTUALLY THE MOST PREFERRED MATCH FOR CREATING HARLS... 67% HARLS 33% MERLES WITH NO WHITE DEAF PREDICTED...
NOT THAT I AM INTERESTED IN PRODUCING HARLS.... BUT TOO MANY BLACK DOGS GETS TO BE A PROBLEM AROUND HERE...
I DO AGREE THAT BREEDING AUDREY TO A MERLE MIGHT BE A TOTAL DISASTER OF WHITE /DEAF PUPS ... SO WE WON'T DO THAT...
IT IS AMAZING HOW WELL EDUCATED ALL YOU CAMERA PEOPLE HAVE BECOME.... HISTORICALLY "DON'T BREED WHITE" WAS DEAD WRONG... AND MANY PEOPLE CALLED ME TERRIBLE NAMES LIKE " IRRESPONSIBLE BACKYARD BREEDER....." ---BUT SINCE.. IT HAS BECOME BREED WHITES CAREFULLY-- AND THAT MASSIVE LIST OF THE GENETICS OF COLOR IN DANES HAS PROVEN TO BE FAIRLY ACCURATE-- THE WORST WE HAE DONE IS BENTLYE TO SCARLOT ( HARL TO MERLE) AND HAD SOME WHITE DEAF-- THE CHART SAYS 10% -- CLOSE.....
IT IS NOT S SIMPLE GENETIC "MENDEL SQUARE" ---- WHEN I BOUGHT TIFFANY , IN 1988 I FIGURED IF I BRED HARL TO HARL, I WOULD GET HARL PUPS-- NOT TRUE-- THAT IS THE BREEDING THAT GETS YOU BLACK,WHITE,MERLE AND HARLS WITH 10% WHITE DEAF.
***
YOU ARE 99% SAFE WITHOUT WHTE DEAF IF ONE PARENT IS BLACK.... OR BLACK WITH WHITE....
****
MOVING ON.......
THE OTEHR STATS I SPENT HOURS ON YESTERDAY--
IF A TRAINER CAN TAKE ONE DOG OUT TO THE COMMUNITY PER HOUR THAT IS 8 DOGS A DAY... 5 DAY WEEK = 40 TRAINING SESSIONS PER TRAINER..3 TRAINERS= 120 SESSIONS
NOW IF WE HAVE 24 DOGS --5 DAYS TRAINING AND TWO OFF WOLD EQUAL -- 120 TRIPS PER WEEK ---- IT SHOULD WORK....
EXCEPT STEVE DOES NOT TRAIN FRI SAT SUNDAY - OLIVIA HAS WED SAT SUN--
WHAT IS ACTUALLY HAPPENING ... FROM THEIR TRAINING LISTS.. IS THE DOGS ARE GETTING OUT ONLY 4 TIMES PER WEEK....
THAT HAS GOT TO BE RE THOUGHT...MAYBE WITH SO MANY INTERNS THIS SUMMER ---WE CAN TRY 2 PEOPLE 2 DOGS PRE TRIP AND JUST DROP THEM OFF IBN TOTALLY DIFFERENT PLACES... AND LET THE INTERNS JUST DO DOWN STAYS AND LET SOME OF THESE DOGS JUST GET OLDER AND MATURE --
SOMEHOW WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING...
*****
NIEGHBOR DEB - AT TEH BORARD MEETING---BEING THE SEMI NORMAL BUSINESS PERSON-- "WHAT DO YOU WANT IN 5 YEARS' TYPE QUESTION... I WOULD LIKE TO "GRADUATE" 2 DOGS PER MONTH... WHICH WE HAVE DONE IN OUR CAREERS ( 2013 TO BE EXACT)
****
HER POINT BEING ---REMEMBER WHEN YOU WERE LEARNING TO DRIVE, YOU GOT TOLD TO KEEP YOU EYE FURTHER AHEAD ON THE HIGHWAY IN ORDER TO HAVE A STEADIER HAND ON THE WHEEL.... RUNNING... SDP IS NOT ALOT DIFFERENT-- AS LONG AS YOU KEEP YOUR SECOND SET OF EYES ONTHE CROSS TRAFFIC. !!
