I would also like to point out that, with all of these curs coming from my first few breedings, you might be wondering why I didn't "jump ship" and try different blood?

Well, there were also some very game dogs in there, and some very game dogs immediately behind them, and with the proper genetic re-direction I bred in the direction of the best dogs and improved the quality greatly!

Same thing Ricky Jones did when he took all Crenshaw's culls, and by steering them with his own ideas bred more ROMs, CHs, and Grand Champions in just a few short years than Crenshaw ever bred with the dogs he kept.

Again, it's all about looking at them, discarding what doesn't work, and moving forward with the best ... rather than "jumping ship" every time something doesn't go the way you like it
