BW, it's "breed" or the past tense "bred" not "bread," unless you're in to baking...

Strange, with all the time I've spent involved with clubs, breeders, and getting hunt test titles on my dogs, I've never heard of the term "whole dog."

Hey, I'll do whatever I can to prevent pointless litters which will have a much higher likelihood of ending up in rescues or shelters (low market value). Why add to the already overpopulated pet population?

As for any future breedings for my dog... highly doubtful he'll ever be bred, I don't believe even with titles and clearances that he'll be good enough to be a stud dog. But I like his pedigree and there is a chance he'll excel at upper level hunt tests, so I'm keeping the option open. And, of course since I've done my homework the chances of heriditary complications if he were bred would be much lower than a "singles ad" breeding....
