I’m pretty new at this and have been trying to get a sense of which and how many breeds I am interested in working with. I’m curious about what others like to do in terms of numbers different breeds or how you personally figured out what works for you?

Thanks!

I have two family accounts and on average I have three breeds per account. I find that this amount allows me to keep the dogs I need while not letting me hold onto dogs I don’t actually need. It forces me to make the tough decision.
That being said most of my accounts are upgraded to the 35 dog option lol.

5 in kennel 1
5 in kennel 2
3 in kennel 3
1 in kennel 4
3 in kennel 5

It's too many unless you have a predetermined number of each breed you plan to keep. Personally that never works for me because I have too much trouble getting rid of dogs. I am planning to eliminate some of the breeds and keep it to 3 max. But even in kennel #4 I am over the limit! LOL. I find that in rare breeds with not many others in the breed I am hesitant to get rid of any of them. Help!!! LOL

Depends what I'm doing, but generally I like to have each kennel with a main focus breed and then a side breed or two to keep things interesting.

If I'm working on a big project I don't go above 2 breeds normally. But if it's just a small project then I'll do 3.

It depends! Every time I do more than two, I get confused laugh :D right now, I have two premium kennels with one breed each.

I prefer 1 breed per kennel. Have tried to have more than one per kennel, but gave that up.

I like to have that room for particular source breeding projects in some breeds alongside my higher SOP breeding. This way I can improve head traits, and introduce rare colours some of my in breeds. Kelpies (colour), Wirehaired Pointing Griffons (colour) and Bearded Collie (colour and heads) and Norwegian Buhunds (heads).
