Dogumentary TV producing the best breed documentaries on YouTube.
going on guys it's a Zeke Dogumentary TV YouTube channel for dog lovers you guys
haven't already please go ahead and subscribe to the channel the world of
purebred dogs can be basically broken down into probably two categories
working line versus show line both lines can produce amazing family companions
but if you're going to be looking for a family pet and you've got to be asking
the right questions for your personal situation working line dogs are bred
with the prime directive of producing dogs that can perform the job that breed
was created to do show line dogs are dogs that are bred with I guess a prime
directive to fit into Kennel Club standards sometimes these standards can
send the breeze direction awry there are some horror stories with certain brains
where that has happened so the basic logic of buying your purebred dog would
be if you're looking to do work with your dog you want to buy your dog from a
working line breeder if you're looking to participate in conformation shows you
would be better served going to a show line breeder
what does the person who's looking to bring a dog into their pet home where do
they go I said you can go either place but like I said you're gonna have to be
sure that you're asking the right questions now show line dogs typically
are gonna have lower dry they're gonna be easier to socialize and because more
people are breathing for the show ring you'll probably have an easier time or a
bigger selection of dog breeders to choose from if the dogs are gonna have
less drive and be easier to socialize because they come from dogs who
participate in conformation shows and basically a conformation show will have
15 to 20 dogs maybe more in a confined space they'll move through a dog show
which mean there'll be people and dogs around typically your high energy your
high Drive dogs will not do well in these situations your working line dogs
because they are bred to work will have a higher Drive
they should be healthier and that's because they're bred they're being bred
and not based on any kind of cosmetic look but they're actually being bred to
perform a function and you want to breed your better workers to create better
workers typically the better workers are the healthier dogs and because the world
doesn't have the need for as many working dogs they may be harder to find
and they may be a bit more expensive if the breeder identifies a puppy that
he doesn't think it's gonna be an elite worker and probably would do well in a
pet home he very well may sell you a working dog from his program what would
you ask a working line breeder if you were trying to get a dog for it to head
home where you're gonna hope that he can identify puppies that will be less
drive-e and more social now you can find this in working line dogs by working
line breeders this probably won't still insist that you as a pet owner have some
sort of activity it is irresponsible for a working line breeder to sell a dog
with working genetics into a home where the dog will not get any kind of mental
and physical stimulation the questions that you're gonna ask a show line
breeder will be totally different now I'm gonna go back real quick to the
working line obviously we want to make sure that all dogs are health tested
whether you buy from working line as shown on always get health tested you
also want to make sure the dogs are temperament tested now with the show
line health testing becomes more important because of some of the end
breathing and line breeding that goes into creating show dogs there is some
evidence that that can have negative health implications on puppies I in
addition you're gonna want to check the temperament of the dogs you're gonna
want to make sure even though it is show line that is suitable for a pet home
because some some working dogs they come out of show line programs have elite
working genetics and probably would be better suited to be moved into a working
home or a what I would click what I would consider a recreational working
environment meaning that maybe you're not a full-time hunter maybe don't do
full-time police work but you do some protection work you do some hunting so
that the dog is getting some stimulation and guys I hope you guys understand that
neither working line north show line there is no better there's just
different the better comes in to what's better for you your situation
and make sure that you guys are doing your research don't just look at the
litter don't just look at the parents look at the breeders program look for a
history of success whether it be within the show ring or within working
competitions or actually just working environments all right guys I hope this
was helpful good luck on your search and I'll catch you on the next one peace
