I have only had two breeding females and they were mother and daughter. I can't really say that either was better than the other, they were different females bred to different males.
Both were total hussys to breed, both were excellent mothers though Nike would have nursed her puppies forever and Vala started to have enough by about 5 weeks. Nike was much more tolerant of her own kids than Vala. Both have about the same amount of titled offspring, though Vala produced more doing detection work. Both lost one pup at birth (or just before). Nike had 14 live and 1 dead in two litters. Vala had 17 live and 1 dead in 3 litters.
Nike did produce my heart dog in Vala. I don't have the connection to any of Vala's kids that I have had with her even though I adore them.
We shall see how my next girls do (Vala daughters).
