Tortilla
Blonde Raccoon
So I'm actively looking for breeders for my next puppy (aiming for around 2013/2014, so not anytime imminent). I'm still fairly new to the breeder thing, because 2/3 of my dogs are rescues and we got Sally when I was eight. SO!
I stumbled upon one breeder who only breeds multiple sired litters because they claim that it basically speeds up their breeding 'time line.' They say that by using multiple sires they are able to accomplish the desired breedings in one litter rather than two or three. They said that 'what would normally take three or four years can be accomplished in one.'
I'm not interested in this particular breeder (for other reasons), I just sort of stumbled upon this and didn't really know what to make of it.
What do you make of it? Is this common breeding practise? My apologies if this is a stupid question, but I hadn't really heard of this before (like I said, still fairly new to the whole breeder thing). I mean I obviously knew it was possible, just wasn't sure how common it is.
