Which is easier

Is it easier to start a APBT strain a APBT bloodline or a breed of dog?????

 

I don't think any of those are easy or easier than the next. As far as the APBT as a strain, all APBT's are strains of some bloodline so that is one in the same. When talking dogs in general, that depends on what type of dog. There are three types of dog, 1) A working dog (bred to perform). 2) A non-working dog (bred for its breed). 3) Toy dogs (designer breeds etc.) I like a true to form working dog in all breeds of dog and I will say, this is the hardest dog to produce on a consistant basis. Sure, a person can breed for a certain look, but it takes a special person to breed a dog on traits based off a dogs courage, field smarts, endurance, heart, a good nose etc. etc. There are many things working dogs get bred for, but it is very easy to just breed two dogs.

 

first step is figuring out what you goal is for your dog. once you figure that out then u can start deciding what dogs may or may not be right for you. ie: weight pull, conformation, agility, family pet ect...

 

well if i do ever make a new breed i want it to be a working dog

 

Making a breed is no simple task. To truly be called a "breed" there is a lot of genetics, time, and sweat involved. You must make sure your "cross" always breeds true in order to call it a breed (meaning always produces the same consistent offspring, in looks, shape, temperament, general skill and ability, etc.). That is why I don't recognize those designer trash mutts (shipoo, doodle, blah blah blah) as a breed, and why no other reputable registry will either. They are simply still mutts because at this stage breeding a poodle and a shitzu for example does not consistently produce the same pups across the breedings, the results are always varied. It takes considerable time and effort to establish a whole new breed.
