Damn good thread!
My partner in crime sonny mean streets. ( scratch in peace ) was a firm believer in testing a dog to the fullest. Thats if you were trying to base a foundation off of him/her. Now a brood dog and a match dog are completely different. To test a dog extremely hard that u were planning on taking out would not be to wise. look at Ali there's only so much damage a dog or human for this matter can take before certain things to start failing .. And since dogs can't talk it's a little harder to see what is actualy hurt inside of them. Every dog we have in our foundation stock was put to the test How can you put ur life into something that u have questions about. Just cause their parents were spectacular dogs doesn't mean to much as far as ther offspring goes Now Iv seen to curs produce a litter with two Ch a one Gr Ch but what pride can u really take in breeding something that isn't tested all of the way. Personally Iv had to cull whole litters because of not testing hard enough. Thought I had a dog worthy of being put into our blood bred it then turned out to be a better than average cur u have to test hard and cull hard if you want a solid line. If your just looking for a match dog then that's a whole mother story. U can get a pup out of a Sunday paper and make a winner out of em. I just feel like if I'm putting my life into something why would I want question marks throughout the pedigree. I want something that I am proud off point blank not a single question. I might be ass backwards but with our line I am very thankfullnthat sonny culled as hard as he did and tested as hard as he did now 3o years later I have something that I know is worth it. Not a yard full of questionmarks. Granted that most dogs will tap out in the right cercomstance I feel a lot better knowing my fam comes from a line of belly scratchers than just some pretty peds and decent dogs
Tested hard, what does that mean...
Guess it depends on who you ask :o
Things that make you said hmmm... Can a cur hog, test your game dog... :shock:
Not a ?...
[quote="waccamaw"]the true test is the actual hunt[/quot ;)
The true test is always is the hunt! but now i wonder r these hounds being game tested the ones who r competing, and how much timw constitutes a game test? I was brought up in these hounds that u school to teach ur hound and the handler. This is only a matter of opinion but i think those first two schoolings r to teach ur hound against different styles so maybe said hound learnes and can adapt if they see it in a match. I also thought that game test was for the handler to see if he was bringing a game hound to bet on. Not saying he wont quit but u sure have a little more understanding about the level of gameness with witch ur bringing. I guess im from the old school i could never bring myself to compete with an animal that i have not severly game tested.Quote:

The hunt is not always a test; a "win" doesn't necessarily mean a dog is good or worth breeding to ...
I have seen "winners" perform that I wouldn't give a quarter for ... and I have seen dogs rolled that I would be proud to own.
