It sounds as though as much as you provided an anwer to his question, you were frustrated at having to provide an answer.
If I knew the answer I would have responded but I'm not a breeder and thought best left to the experts.
I suspect his next breeding will be more thought out and planned as will his next and his next....
Sadly, dog sports are experiencing a slow death. If you refer to the membership #'s in your field club over the last few years you'll notice, like the rest of us, that the older mentors are dying and us young'uns aren't beating down the walls to get in. Our sport (or hobby if that's how you think of it) takes time and depends upon new people who are interested to be shown the ropes and helped along the way.
If you plant a seed it will grow.
If you stomp on it , it will whither and die.
Marley 420 has asked for advice.
The least we can do is give it to him without being condecending.
All breeders had to start somewhere.
He asked a question.
He's not pretending to be out there like he is sure of everything he's doing.
Really kasomor, I think you're a smart chick. Let's all start working at this together.
