Hello K9mon,
Better stop listening to them rumours. Unless your source has tested each and every puppy individually or he *is* the breeder, I think he/she better keep his/her mouth shut. Besides, consistency is what all breeders strive for, I challenge anyone to find me a breeder who produces 9 puppies in a litter and says that they are all consistent. Ok la, I jest, maybe all 9 puppies consistently have four legs, a tail, two eyes, one muzzle, etc. But Malaysia also has dog with 6 legs and 3 dicks, so.....
I think one would be considered lucky to even have replicas of previous progenies in repeated litters. Unless we back our breedings by scientific data logging and research (like Guide Dogs for the blind), consistency will be, at best, a shot in the dark. Mind you, even with scientific data logging and research, Guide Dogs for the Blind had to change some of their breeding methods due to deteoration of the hips and this is from a facility that has managed to breed and raise 97% of their dogs for its intended purpose.
Furthermore, why do specifically mention prey and food drives? Appreciate it if you could enlighten us on why you find these drives essential for a working line and only average and below for a showline.
I've come across a showline boxer that is so high in prey and play drive you can slam, and I mean 4.5' of the ground slam, to the ground and it'll still jump right back up at ya and the food drive is none the lacking as well.
Perhaps you could elaborate further your statement "Rumors have said that the dam used might not be a full working line which might have affected the the litter's prey drive and food drive".
Like I said, you've gotta be careful of your source of rumours. Afterall if it's a rumour, be vary that some might have little tolerance to what essentially are unfounded statements.
btw I've heard another rumor that Eros puppies in Malaysia are nice, big bones and friendly temperament. The prey drive is ok but not consistent. The food drive is average.
Rumors have said that the dam used might not be a full working line which might have affected the the litter's prey drive and food drive. (I would assume that a pure working line pup will have high prey drive and food drive, please correct me if I'm wrong)
Can anyone in this forum confirm if this information is true?
Thanks.
