Burton Village Ringcraft recently held a hugely successful evening when three of the greatest breeders of our time came together to answer questions in front of an audience of sixty people. These were some of the comments made afterwards by those who attended:

“What a superb night this was! Three proven breeders sharing years of knowledge, openly and candidly. I went home with a tonne of notes and valuable insights and knowledge that otherwise might have taken years and a few expensive mistakes to discover by ourselves! Thanks to all involved for making this happen!” Craig Goodwin


“Congratulations to Team BVR. A huge thank you to our guest speakers for sharing their generations of knowledge; I’m normally in bed for 9p.m. but absolutely enjoyed every second learning with interest throughout the evening! The perfect evening - anyone who missed this grab a copy of the video.” Kathryn Jothryn Jones

“Well chaired Andrew, and wonderful to listen to such an informed, intelligent and insightful panel willing to share their depth of experience and vision; the audience were rapt from start to finish. Well done and thank you Burton Village Ringcraft gang.” Derfel John Owen

These are some the questions Andrew Brace asked of Lesley Crawley (Ragus), Tan Nagrecha (Chandlimore) and Sandy Platt (Charbonnel):

  • When someone makes the decision to breed seriously, what would be your advice to someone in that situation as regards research and going about finding a suitable bitch to start with?

  • Is it important that your foundation bitch is top show quality, or is pedigree more important?

  • When looking for a stud dog for the foundation bitch, how should the new breeder assess their bitch and establish the best possible stud dog for her?

  • What are your thoughts on line-breeding and outcrossing, are there any particular combinations that have worked well for you?

  • Do you favour paying an outright stud fee or having other arrangements with the stud dog’s owner?

  • Do you routinely scan your bitches to confirm pregnancy?

  • How do you treat your bitches when in whelp? Exercise? Feeding?

  • When the due date approaches, how do you monitor your bitch? When she starts, please talk us through the actual whelping procedure.

  • Let’s talk about weaning and puppy rearing – what works for you?

  • It’s time to select your keeper puppy. Are you monitoring the litter constantly? At what age do you make your decision? Is it different with the Giant breeds?

  • When selling puppies how do you vet potential buyers and do you have a sales contract? Do you ever sell bitches on breeding terms and, if so, how does that work?

  • When keeping puppies, is it important just to focus on bitches or should puppies be retained regardless of their sex, just based on quality?

  • If you had to give just one “nugget” of wisdom to a breeder just starting out, what would it be?
