Any good stock man works his dogs gets the full potential from them regarding work and condition then looks at background then selects a line and thinks about it. 90% of the litters about at the moment wont see 2 seasons with the same owner.Entitlement and justification are 2 different things pups breeding pups is the path of a fool. How many good dog men breed of pups and unproven stock.I was taught quality is .the aim not quantity, No wonder the game is in the state it is in nowadays.
