I ave a question for ya.
it looks like my bitch can't run out of sight on a dark night, so I have decieded to breed from her. What do you reckon about putting her to Bush Legend?
She is by Hallucinate X Just Like Alice.
Oh, one other thing. Is it better to let the dog jump her or go for the frozen stuff?
The love of my life, Lilyflowerandroxy says I'm an Idiot. But I forgive her coz she's a woman. Ouch, ouch, stop, I'm sorry my precious.

coops i reckon ill be going down the same line as lily here as suggest your an idiot lol
breeding is my weak area, BUTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT bush legend is a 4th grader sire, if you have 12 pups, what are you going to do??? you will have to pay people to take them, youd struggle to give them away mate...
say you keep 4 pups, look at it this way.... straw, whelp them down, rear to 12 months, break in, pre train, paper work, vet bills etc thats $12k+... then if there no good at all??? but your spending $500 on a sire????
id struggle to suggest breed with her if she has no abilty but if your willing to take the risk go to a top line sire, $500 for bush legend= $12k to get to racing age, not a well known sire, hasnt thrown anything...say you go to wheres pedro or something similar, $13.5k to get to racing age, the sire has thrown group winners and lots of top city class dogs...if your willing to spend 12k on as you say a bitch with no abilty to a sire with not much to date on the ground, then youd be crazy not to spemd amother $1500 and upgrade the sire to the best you can get which fits her line...
Its a mistake alot make, it costs the same to whelp, rear, break in, feed a litter to brett lee but people down grade on the sire to save $1500 now, but in the long run your still spending 12k plus, so whats the extra $1500
as i said i couldnt suggest to you breed her if she has no abilty what so ever, but if you want to take the risk go to a top sire, atleast if she has 12 you can sell a few for $500, but like i said going to a no name sire means you wont be able to give them away
depends, alot of sires these days are all frozen.. i prefer frozen, natruall to me is soooo 1990s, but thats my opinion
