Thread: I must be getting old and cynical

Sometimes I think people get to wrapped up in the paper. I've got a pure whippet here that is a stunner, just over 12 months old and shaping into better than her mother. Now I know another rabbiter that ran her mother Karla, till she died and he said best whippet he's seen. Not a paper in sight. That bitch that died had naturally good pups, even the crosses that were bred from her excelled.
Or there is Jess's daughter Heidi, Jess is a stunning rabbit and so is Heidi as she has already proven at a young age, so I put Jack over Heidi. Brilliant dog + brilliant dog leads to one thing. Still not a paper in sight.

I think more of it comes down to training, but more importantly PATIENCE. That one word is the key.

That Karla I spoke of, most people would have shoot her six months after getting her (at most) as it turned out she was gun shy. I didn't and the rewards were beautiful.
So to get carried away with the paper work or not, good question. Or buy two cheap pups then six/twelve months later shoot the useless one...
