Showdog.com Forum · Working Breeds

Its my first time coming back to the game in years, how do you choose a winner if every dog had perfect SOP?

Honestly, it's mostly by chance.

Sometimes good show dogs run in families of successful dogs, but sometimes it's random. I do find also that there are families of unsuccessful show dogs too, so genetics do play a part.

Try and breed your female to the best male who is up for stud, by looking at his show record and seeing how many times, specifically, that he won against other dogs of his breed with "owner" as the handler.

Since some breeds are all 100, it's by chance that you select a good show dog. But if you are breeding, there is just more of a chance of selecting one because you're producing more options.

Many 'a time I have bought a random 100 SOP in a breed I hadn't owned yet and it was a great show dog!

Good luck
