I don,t "expect" anyone to "agree". I feel I have expressed my opinion and will happily leave it there. There was a fine dogman here who once completed a three sheep trial with a poodle. Strangely, most who wish to compete successfully in that field still source their trial dogs from proven...

Yes, luckily, we are all entitled to "opinions" and I,m glad of it. Mine just happens to have a sound scientfic basis, I refer you to simple Darwinian genetics, and the laws of Mendel that are used as a basis for breeding everything, it appears but whippets?? Can you get black pups from two...

Indeed a dog to be proud of, a very nice looking dog and her condition is a credit to you. I never said you couldn,t get a worker from a show only kennel and am infact pleased you have been able to do so. All whippets carry some working blood if you go back far enough and it will pop up in show...

Yes it is, and as such It can be concentrated, or lost, by selective/non selective breeding. The original statement of conjecture contained the false declaration that show bred whips are likely to contain a similar instinctual prey drive as found in purposely bred working whippets. As agreed NOW...

Are you saying that instinct is not a genetically inherited trait, and subject to selective breeding???

If you could explain how a show bred dog could have the same working instincts as a dog selectively bred for those working instincts over many generations I will be well pleased. I would also like to know how working instincts remain at a working level in unproven stock not selectively bred...

. To insist that a pure show bred whip is likely to carry the same degree of prey drive and hunting instict of a whip from a blood that has focused on those traits for generations is not reasonable, or logical, or indeed supportable, cheers

"I would agree whole-heartedly with June that prey drive is an instinct." Yes, and that instinct is heightened by selected breeding, and lost in degrees with generations of non selective breeding. "that instinct will develop and skills improve." only if that instinct has not been lost by...

For those who missed it, the respondent suggested show whippets would have the same prey drive and hunting instincts as whips selectively bred for these qualities over generations. This would point to a complete waste of time by renowned breeders such as Mrs McKay who obviously(in his/her...

cheers
