Principles the breeding

Unfortunately, much makes too few breeders for itself (also with our Newfoundlands) the effort of the breeds but goes the simpler and rash way, i.e. it is often driven to the male that is inexpensive in the charge or to those with which the way is short or to the male that is "modern" at time, or one is together friendly and often "breeds" only within this friendship-connection, or a male is even in own property and it is much more comfortable so however to fall back on this than to drive.

The word "breeder" is used very lightly. Everyone who holds some animals and plans combinations with it indiscriminately, calles itself "breeder" with pride, and all others believe this without thinking about it further. In reality has to do this type of the indiscriminate increase of our fauna nothing at all with breeding however. Of breeding can speak first there, where is worked with mind and overview by prudent action at a breeding-aim.

It is absolutely of big importance to be put out the concept "breeding" unequivocally plainly once. Only so one can reach that many of this thoughtless "breeders" undergo the effort once and even go honestly with itself to installment and determines, whether and to which type of breeders they belongs. To make this for itself consciously is absolutely important if we want to reach at advancement and improving with our dogs on wide basis. Is therefore clear to determine that cannot be spoken to belonging animals the pair of two of a breed from any parents as breeding. This process is nothing other than a choice - and unsystematic increasing of the relevant type of animal. From this fact it becomes therefore clear that one can speak of breeders only then, if is not mated indiscriminately but from the start plainly and clearly a breeding-aim striven for and is pursued consistently. This aim must always approach the ideal of the breed to be bred, it must envision the breeder, and he/she must be to itself clear with all actions over it whether they are useful his/her breeding-aim. Strive for the breeding-aim becomes for example in the individual therefore always must exist that at compact body, at wide front, strong bones, the surveillance of the desired size, a typical head, good eyes, good coat, correct anatomy, health, denture etc.

Beginners in the breeding now fall here into the mistake that they can be deceived from the appearance of an animal. The opinion is represented that an animal must always transmit the visible picture. If this applied it would be an easy to be a breeder, the breeding as such would be uninteresting however. Now the results of such combinations are normally quite differently however than some introduce itself, and the disappointment is big then. Valuable and for the further-breeding important results will achieve only that, which subjects also the ancestors of the animals to be mated of a thorough examination! That is from biggest importance. Only if I can determine with at row of ancestors or know that something always good this and this position, I can calculate therefore with the descendants with this results.

Summarize is to say:

A breeding-aim therefore primarily belongs to breeding. In order to come the aim near, one must heed some:

Each singles-animal, which uses for the breeding, becomes, must us in all positions known and for the breeding suitable is. It must however also be completely healthy, because valuable can refine only in a healthy body. Furthermore we must over its ancestors preferably exactly information knows.

Each serious breeder must have at selection of the breeding-animals and the descendants continue and according to all animals, who don't correspond to the minimum-request, they as familydogs hand over that they uses with certainty for the breeding no longer can become.

Conscientious records in the breeding and lay down everything important in writing.

Whoever heeds these points and deals after it, one can call itself als breeder, and he/she can speak rightly of breeding. Because is the certainty given here that through quests, well deliberate selection and goal-corresponding Verpaaren from suitable, for the breeding valuable animals to achieve descendants, that are better and more valuable than the starting dogs. Breeding is not creation of beautiful singles-individuals but the security of outstanding heredity on wide basis with many descendants!

A real breeder will therefore intervene with consideration and prudence in the process of the nature in order to come the desirable aim as near as possible.

Is above description really so exhausting and unattractive? I think, no! This simply speaks me from the heart and I hope that it the one or others also speaks to his heart and to thinking brings.
