We ask a lot of our dogs in and out of the work. And while purposeful exposure and training is a tremendous part of owning and raising a working dog, there is so much that genetics brings to the table when it comes to a dog that is well suited for high-level work.
I find that in searching for litters, both in the works and on the ground, many handlers struggle not only with determining where to look, but also (and perhaps more importantly) what questions to ask when searching for and interviewing breeders for working prospects.
In reflecting on this, I wanted to take the time to discuss what I consider before entertaining the idea of getting on a waitlist.
I’ve detailed what I would consider the “minimum” in questions to ask (numbered questions in bold), as well as the more in-depth line of questioning I’d recommend in researching a prospective litter in my latest Patreon post.
