**** I agree. But it don't happen in my breeding and won't. I breed in my own yard to my own stock, no help, no stud fee, no shipping or going across the street.

**** Buy a star bitch from a star family and breed to the best stud you can find, no matter the expense. Do this with a long standing person of honesty and proven reputation in all dealings [rare find]. Selection / Elimination.

**** I did.

>Culled the dogs for whatever purpose you bred them for
>then improve on the quality if need be.

**** I agree and doing that.

>If not, go out prove the line of dogs in the field for
>which the purpose they were bred for!

**** Certainly an option.

**** Sometimes.

**** Thats true.
