Gyp ?

[EastTexas]

I'm looking for your personal opinion's. I know how most of you feel about cold male's. But, Would you keep a gyp on your yard that is cold, if she is bred off of proven stock?

Not asking about one in particular. Just asking people's preferences. But, I have seen one that was 2 years old that would lay down like a pup and crawl over to another gyp to see what the other gyp was going to do and if the gyp showed aggression she would tuck tail and run to get away as fast as she could.

Sometimes A bitch will change after she has a litter of pups. I think "HONEYBUNCH" Was like that. To me 'COLD' don't mean not game just never started.

yes, i would keep the dog on my yard- for the sole fact that i commited to the dog when i took it-good or bad. let her live it out and you can decide later if she is worthy of becoming part of a breeding program.

i personally think to many people give up on dogs way to early. i had a male-who was pretty cool up until the age of 3.5, after that he was pretty much ready to go all the time. and it became a real chore trying to show him,so you cant really put a certain age as different dogs mature at different rates

good post rally

The 2 year old gyp that I referred to seeing submit to others had already had a litter. When she got to close to one of the female's, as soon as the female took hold she screamed. We were standing right there so we got her off fast, not even a puncture. But, as soon as we broke the hold we didn't even have to grab her she was gone. Running fast as she could.

I edited this post because I didn't want it to sound like it was intentional. The gyp is let out of the kennel she is in 3 times a day, on a 3 acre yard. There are only 3 dog's on this 3 acres. The total of 3 is including her. She usually just tries to go to each of the other dogs and if they act anyway aggressive she just runs off and goes and does her own thing.

Not my dog, it's a friend of mine. I know what she is off of, and it is proven. He owned her sire, her dam, and her grand dam. But, back to the topic that I posted about. What are your opinions on this, would you keep a cold dog?

[ben brockton]

Some like to play the lotto some dont. I dont judg what the dog is off from I judg the dog. If you have any doubt dont breed her .

That bitch doesn't sound cold to me!

In my personal opinion breeding cold dogs is a big no no and will 95% of the time, lead to nothing more than wasted time and energy..
Now I dont, and never will consider myself a "breeder" but I feel that breeding a cold dog is akin to breeding a greyhound that wont run, or a german shorthair that wont point..
It makes absolutley no sense to me, but it has been proven to work "on occasion", so if people are willing to take the gamble, well then more power to them..

agree 100%

breed the dogs with the traits you want. cold dogs and curs shouldnt be bred.
