With my present Holland X Karma litter the 2015 vintage the calls have been all for males. The 2013 Vintage of the same breeding the calls were strongly in favour of Female Pups. What is the difference in 2 years. Granted there has been some derby success in the male 2013 pups but to me given the pedigree that alone should not have made the difference. Is there a over all rethinking on the male vs female on training. Dottie was NFC in 2013...Ammo was Canadian National Am champ so there still is successes with Bitches.
5 Female pups yet to go......So just picking brains of why.
i talked to another person with a litter and they can't seem to get rid of the males and said they could have sold 15 females if they had them. Ended up lowering the cost of the males to try and sell them. I think it's just random and not a trend.
You're not getting to the right people me thinks.
Girl puppies from a Chopper X Keila bitch bred to Holland aught to be very desirable.
Approach the pros who know your dog or pups from last litter for leads on folks who may be interested.

I have been breeding for a number of years. I live in a tri-state area. Typically I find that if people in one state want males then those in the neighboring state will want females. It is arbitrary and has no rhyme or reason
For me as as a recent buyer of 2 dogs with the intent of competing and breeding. I can say it made a lot more sense for me to purchase females than males. I think its easier to sell a dog that is bred from a titled female out of what ever the latest and greatest studs, or some of the older more well known studs. Then it is to sell stud fees from a dog that is a MH that has great breeding. Maybe I'm way off but thats what made sense to me. Now if I was strictly looking for a hunting dog or a dog to go and compete with, with no goals of breeding out, then I would probably go with a male dog just because thats all I ever had growing up.
Male vs Female has always been a topic of dogs people. It is a personal preference. I have had female dogs all my life (even before we had labs), so naturally I went with a female. Just what I am used to. That is all.
When ever I have a litter of chess pups the females are the first to go
