Ickle Posted May 1, 2003 Posted May 1, 2003 Sent from the Internet (Details) LAMENT OF A STUD My job is making puppies and I get two tries at that. They pat me and tell me "Good Boy" and that's the end of that. It's half my job to give 'em teeth and topline, fronts and other. Remember, it's only half my job- they also have a mother. It's not my job to carry pups and make 'em grow or nurse 'em And feed and clean and make 'em strong. That's for "mother" and a person. It's not my job to wean 'em and fed calcium and food. And stack and gait and housebreak and make 'em show or brood. It's not my job to plan the breeding and learn what produces well, To study pedigrees, learn what's there, and pick out what to sell. It's not my job to guarantee champs, the breeder picks the pair, To make and whelp and feed and show and hope that champ is there. It's not my job to be on hand when points are given out. The breeder, owners, dam and friends take credit with a shout. It's not my job to deliver a winner, it's only genes I sell, But let those puppies turn out bad, and guess who catches HELL.

Nancy B Posted May 2, 2003 Posted May 2, 2003 Gee...I don't know if the board will let me post this but, I'll give it a shot. With regard to stud dogs, there's a very well known and respected Dobe breeder who coined a phrase I love. "it's a penis, not a magic wand" Quote
