You are entitled to your opinion,personally I would say the standard of dogs is still pretty high.
I don't think the original thread mentioned Jackers, he asked if it was good dog do you keep it ,? If it was an average dog do you get rid of it?
How does keeping a dog after its working life is finished ,mean that you have no balls? A dog that has worked its best for you ,until old age set in ,and it couldnt do it any more is entitled to a warm bed ,and some quality of life in its old age ,thats how I see it.
If that makes you laugh ,perhaps you have a unique sense of humour?
