Rebel Kennels took stopped dogs off Crenshaw's yard and from what I heard bred up some good ones. Some of our most popular bloodlines of today came off some famous stud dogs that were bred a lot and still being matched. To later quit under various reasons. Why it is best not to breed to any match dog till it's career is over.

One example I saw was Baker Davis's Boomerang dog. Brought back out of retirement and matched around 7 or 8 years old. Boomerang was on a young 2 1/2 year old dog owned by Mr. H. Teal. If Boomer had not got in some early serious biting. He almost did not pull it off. It was a close call right down to the wire.

So a cold male or cold female here or there is no biggie if the end results puts you in the winning. Still breeding to a cold dog should have some good valid reason behind it. You just have to know when to hold them and when to fold them. Even today no one has the monopoly on that elusive game gene in dogs. The good ones are where you find them.
