78 – Litter Evaluation Workshop: Recorded LIVE with Laura Reeves

Litter Evaluation Workshop: Recorded LIVE with Laura Reeves

Puppy litters are our hopes, dreams, and a bit of mystery for dog breeders.  Every litter is a chance to get it right, to learn a little more about our breeding selections.

Picking the Right Puppy

Our second challenge as breeders is picking the right puppy.  At 8 weeks, puppies are full of potential, and sometimes the best one gets away. Laura Reeves suggests learning how to evaluate puppy litters with puppies that you are not emotionally attached to.  Avoid the heart string decisions.  Ask for every opportunity on breeds that are not your own, with master breeders to guide you.

Structure, Temperament, and Breed Standard Evaluation

In this workshop, two distinct breeds are evaluated - Smooth Fox Terrier and Wire Haired Dachshunds. Please enjoy this workshop!
