Lyloak's Reflections on the German Shepherd Dog. Tuesday, March 1, 2011. Brackett's Principle #8: Use Only Outstanding Studs! 1937 and 1938 Grand VictorCh. Pfeffer v Bern. 8220;We should also select a stud who is preferably inbred, or at least quite strongly linebred, so that the strength such breeding gives to his prepotency will most likely insure his dominance in the mating pair.” [i]. Therefore, using an inbred or strongly linebred stud dog should insure some degree of prepotency. 8220;…in sele...

Lyloak's Reflections on the German Shepherd Dog. Wednesday, January 26, 2011. Brackett Principle #5: Outcross- But Only for Definite Purposes! Ch Drum of Long Worth. 8220;I will state unequivocally that ‘nobody but nobody’ amongst them is going to do constructive animal breeding or produce a satisfactory percentage of top specimens, and most certainly they WILL NOT build a strain within the breed. To demonstrate why they are not getting the desired results.” [i]. Brackett rests this premise on the author...

Lyloak's Reflections on the German Shepherd Dog. Monday, April 4, 2011. Brackett's Principle #10: Breed Back to Your "Toppers"! 1950 Grand VictrixCh Yola of Longworth. 8220;I try to point out a procedure by which a beginner breeder might, most quickly and surely, improve the ‘mean’ or average quality of his production—and indeed within a few years bring forth, and quite consistently, some ‘toppers.’” [i]. Brackett utilized the terminology of “toppers.”. Of course, “Mr. German Shepherd” ad...He stated tha...

Lyloak's Reflections on the German Shepherd Dog: December 2010

http://lyloakreflections.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html

Lyloak's Reflections on the German Shepherd Dog. Saturday, December 11, 2010. Brackett Principle #2: Build a Strain! 1937 and 1938 GV Ch. Pfeffer v Bern. Brackett readily admits to learning by his own mistakes. He, too, had previously practiced what he estimated that 98% of the average dog fanciers had done—mated the best bitches to the best available males, regardless of bloodlines. The strategy in which Brackett would implement to improve his breeding program would center upon building a distinct strain.

Lyloak's Reflections on the German Shepherd Dog. Monday, March 21, 2011. Brackett's Principle #9: Always Select the Best Bitch Puppies! Ch Orpha of Edgetowne. 8220;As soon as the litter is sufficiently grown so enough can be told about them to make a fairly safe selection (and this varies amongst different breeds), we try to pick the best bitch puppy. Let us presume that we find one resembling her sire more than the dam, as we have planned and hoped for.” [i]. They take up space, time and resources.

Lyloak's Reflections on the German Shepherd Dog. Thursday, April 28, 2011. Brackett's Breeding Principles: Conclusion. Where are we now? Are these ten foundational principles passé or still of value to us today? What are the principles upon which you are building your kennel? How do your principles meld together with Brackett’s principles? From time to time, I have heard criticism of Brackett’s system of planned breeding. I have been amazed that he was so transparent about the shortcoming of his system.
