Join Kenny Troiano as he talks with Master Breeder – Jack Dodd. Sit back and take notes. You will learn valuable lessons about breeding, and what it takes to create a high quality strains, and to keep them going for many years.
ACQUIRING AND CREATING A TRUE STRAIN
A breeder, who starts with high quality fowl, which I like to call “Foundation Fowl,” or the “Adam and Eve” of any strain, is one with a huge advantage over those who don’t. By starting out with high quality foundation fowl, and using proper selective breeding practices, along with hard culling, it’s not only a huge advantage, but it is the road to a successful strain.
The Benefits of Creating your own Foundation Strain
Getting birds from other breeders can be quite dangerous. Their ideas of how or what gamefowl should look, act and perform like can be a lot different than yours. That’s if they have an idea of what they have at all.
RESPONSIBILITY OF EVERY BREEDER
It is the responsibility of every breeder to be a good representative and protector of their breed, safeguarding their integrity, maintain their standard of excellence, and continue to improve his strain. It is every breeder’s responsibility to inspire new breeders to preserve their breed for future generations.
Bred to Perfection – Ep1 – Welcome to the show!
As you know we have created a new podcast show called “Bred to Perfection.”This show was created for two reasons, to inspire a new generation of breeders and to hopefully give you greater insight into all aspects of selective breeding.
