Seminar Format: 1 and 2 Day
The Breeding Better Dogs seminar is an all-inclusive seminar
The Two-day seminar explains how to develop the skills needed to analyze pedigrees and how to develop a breeding plan. Included are the methods for coding pedigrees, selecting sires, choosing puppies and managing those that are kept by the breeder. This is the most popular of all the seminars because it allows more time for discussion questions. Also included is a hands-on session that demonstrates how to recognize correct shoulder placement (lay-back, lay-in, length of upper arm) using live dogs. Audience participation is designed to teach each person how to teach their hands to see what their eyes can’t.
The video "GAIT”, is used to demonstrate ways to see and recognize correct and incorrect movement and structure. A seminar handout with optional reading assignments is provided. The audience is asked to bring a pedigree.
