Search<strong>in</strong>g For Mr. Right<br />
The Pursuit of the Perfect Stud Dog<br />
By Michele Wrath<br />
I<br />
love solv<strong>in</strong>g puzzles. My husband has accused me of buy<strong>in</strong>g the Sunday paper just for the<br />
puzzle page. Half of the time he is right. From the traditional crossword to word jumbles to<br />
Sudoku, there is someth<strong>in</strong>g terrifically reward<strong>in</strong>g about solv<strong>in</strong>g a puzzle and gett<strong>in</strong>g all the pieces to<br />
fit. That is how I feel about breed<strong>in</strong>g dogs.<br />
Search<strong>in</strong>g for the right stud dog is a process. We all go about it differently. When we first got<br />
started <strong>in</strong> dogs I spent a lot of time observ<strong>in</strong>g how people made their breed<strong>in</strong>g decisions, what<br />
their approach was, and the criteria they used to base their decisions on. For every breeder out<br />
there, there is probably a slightly different method. Some believe strongly <strong>in</strong> the marriage of pedigrees<br />
over all else. Some breed entirely animal to animal. Others breed to the dog everyone else<br />
is us<strong>in</strong>g and the truly brave strike out <strong>in</strong> hopes of discover<strong>in</strong>g the next great producer.<br />
Everyone around me shudders when I start the stud dog selection process. When I say process<br />
I mean process. It takes me roughly 9 months to decide on a breed<strong>in</strong>g. I am an analytic at heart<br />
and when there is more than one choice I need time. Just ask my husband – mak<strong>in</strong>g a d<strong>in</strong>ner<br />
selection off a menu with lots of options can be a pa<strong>in</strong>stak<strong>in</strong>g process – and one made not without<br />
a round of questions solicit<strong>in</strong>g the waitperson’s favorite entrées or choice between two entrees –<br />
usually completely different. And once the waitperson has weighed <strong>in</strong> with their recommendations<br />
it often doesn’t change what I was about to do anyway but I feel better for the ask<strong>in</strong>g. Breed<strong>in</strong>g<br />
dogs can be a lot like that!<br />
I have some basic rules that I follow when I beg<strong>in</strong> my search. First and foremost, I get very clear<br />
about the strengths and weaknesses of my bitch and what my objectives are for do<strong>in</strong>g the breed<strong>in</strong>g.<br />
It doesn’t matter what I want her strengths to be, it matters a lot that I am honest with myself<br />
about what they really are. If you know your l<strong>in</strong>e well, you have a good sense for what you can<br />
cover and what you cannot. This becomes very important later and I f<strong>in</strong>d it to be one of the best<br />
tools to speed the sort<strong>in</strong>g process.<br />
Next, I separate my emotions from the animals sitt<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> front of me. Gladys Knight had a popular<br />
song entitled “What’s Love Got To Do With It”. I th<strong>in</strong>k this should be every breeder’s anthem.<br />
Love has everyth<strong>in</strong>g to do with the relationship we have with our dogs, with the time we spend<br />
with them, with the feel<strong>in</strong>gs we have for special dogs owned by others. It is our love of dogs that<br />
causes us to be <strong>in</strong> the sport of dogs but it has noth<strong>in</strong>g to do with why <strong>in</strong>dividual dog should be<br />
bred or used <strong>in</strong> a breed<strong>in</strong>g program. Some of my favorite dogs are those that were absolutely not<br />
the right choice for the breed<strong>in</strong>g I was plann<strong>in</strong>g. It doesn’t change how I feel about those dogs; it<br />
just means that my bitch did not have the attributes that made her a great match for any of them.
Now the fun beg<strong>in</strong>s. Every breed publication <strong>in</strong> the house, every old Quarterly, every Pedigree<br />
Book, every DVD from every National Specialty we ever attended comes off the shelf. Perhaps<br />
not all at once, but eventually there will be piles of breed history adorn<strong>in</strong>g the various table tops<br />
<strong>in</strong> our home. The <strong>in</strong>ternet has certa<strong>in</strong>ly aided <strong>in</strong> the stud dog selection process. I am eternally<br />
grateful to all those dedicated breeders who are also <strong>in</strong>ternet savy and thoughtful enough to build<br />
such detailed websites with an abundance of <strong>in</strong>formation that is every analytic’s dream. The OFA<br />
database is a wonderful source of data and holds tremendous promise as a research tool. As the<br />
database is more widely used it will be an even better resource for breeders.<br />
Armed with a short list of candidates, the search beg<strong>in</strong>s <strong>in</strong> earnest. It’s at about this juncture that<br />
I pull out Pat Trotter’s book “Born to W<strong>in</strong>”. It was one of the first books I read as we got <strong>in</strong>to the<br />
sport of dogs and it is the one that I refer back to on a regular basis. Pat Trotter was one of the<br />
most successful, if not the most successful breeder owner handler <strong>in</strong> the sport, and I f<strong>in</strong>d her book<br />
to be both <strong>in</strong>formative and thought provok<strong>in</strong>g. She has some <strong>in</strong>terest<strong>in</strong>g theories on breed<strong>in</strong>g<br />
and the decision process used to put two animals together and it always causes me to th<strong>in</strong>k a bit<br />
harder and longer about what I am attempt<strong>in</strong>g to do.<br />
The sort<strong>in</strong>g process can like be a roller coaster ride. I’ll f<strong>in</strong>d a dog that appears to “have it all” – or<br />
at least what I am look<strong>in</strong>g for. I am jubilant. The pedigrees align, the dogs look good together and<br />
the offspr<strong>in</strong>g produced by Mr. Right are lovely. I can see the future progeny <strong>in</strong> my m<strong>in</strong>d’s eye and<br />
they are, of course, exactly what I am hop<strong>in</strong>g to get from the breed<strong>in</strong>g. And then someth<strong>in</strong>g will<br />
surface – you know – that th<strong>in</strong>g that you th<strong>in</strong>k you just can’t get past. The dream fades, reality sets<br />
<strong>in</strong>, the dog goes back <strong>in</strong>to the “pend<strong>in</strong>g” pile and the process starts over aga<strong>in</strong> with the next candidate<br />
on the list. This goes on for months, until I run out of ideas and my friends get sick of listen<strong>in</strong>g<br />
to me. I file my notes, put my piles of books and DVDs back on the shelf, turn the computer<br />
off and walk away. There isn’t another s<strong>in</strong>gle piece of <strong>in</strong>formation out there that is go<strong>in</strong>g to make<br />
a bit of difference <strong>in</strong> reach<strong>in</strong>g a decision. It is time to “sleep on it”.<br />
Before all the stud dog owners read<strong>in</strong>g this rise to defend the honor of their men, let me just say<br />
that I attribute much of the difficulty with this process to the dam. It is her comb<strong>in</strong>ation of unique<br />
strengths and weaknesses that make the selection process so complicated. If only she had a stronger<br />
rear, better front, darker eyes – you name it – whatever the strength required to offset the<br />
offend<strong>in</strong>g fault of the prospective sire, the selection process would be so much easier.<br />
And then one day, often out of the blue, the answer comes. It has often been said that breed<strong>in</strong>g is<br />
a blend of art and science, and for me, this is when the art takes over. Mr. Right stands out above<br />
the rest and I just know he’s the one. The pedigrees align, the dogs <strong>in</strong>deed look good together, the<br />
offspr<strong>in</strong>g produced by Mr. Right are lovely, and I can clearly see the promise of the breed<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> my<br />
m<strong>in</strong>d’s eye. Did anyth<strong>in</strong>g change? Yes, but not with the dogs. What changed is that I can now, with<br />
great acuity, describe exactly why I am do<strong>in</strong>g the breed<strong>in</strong>g, what I am hop<strong>in</strong>g to accomplish, and<br />
why this stud dog is the best choice for my bitch. I can almost smell the puppy breath!
