I don't have really preference because we've both, we see we have good results.

I always say I prefer a good female than a bad male.

most of the females that were used for breeding they were never trained just very good good character dogs but they they because most of the time they breed i talk about good breeds like luke uh when he was taking female i was female for breeding they did maybe some biting and something but they were not really trained right and uh They kept them at home and that's how it was.

Now we see that more and more people start to compete also, but it's not the training and the result of the training that will have a decision on the genetics.

And people say, hey, we will breed with the world champion. Is he the best dog? He's a good dog, that's for sure. But he's the best dog for breeding. He's lucky. He has a very, very good trainer. Very true. And some dogs, even dogs that never came to championships, that were extremely good for breeding. But people say, no, why do you use that? He was never in competition. I had an example.

I had a dog. He had three, four handlers and nobody could handle him. And I use him for breeding, saying, hey, why do you use him? Because he's a super dog. Sometimes people look too much to the results.

Yes. Yeah. Because you see it also in horse breeding. If you see in horse breeding and jumping, yeah, the foals that are sold best are the ones from where the mother is jumping 160 and the father is jumping 160.

I must say it's a problem.

I must say it's a problem.

For me it's a problem. because we see that the number of dog sports in ring sport it's going down and it's going fast now like if we see that last year on the NVBK championships for the three championships together they had 30 dogs it's nothing When we say 20 years ago, you had the three categories, in every category you had 20 dogs, and you had to fight to get in the championship.

Now there's not one championship that is full. And also in the Belgium ring, Saint-Hubert, now Saint-Hubert has... taken a little bit again, a little bit up than maybe 10 years ago, because then it was very bad also. But the problem for me is that they don't want to adapt their methods, the way how they are training.
