The Right Way!!

[Officially Retired]

As a breeder and fan of my own line, I would never go against my own stuff. I always want my dogs to win, even when owned by absolute assholes who have them. If I hook into something related to what I have, how does my blood come out ahead?

How can your line build a % win record going against your own blood? You will always be 50/50%. As a competitor, even if you personally win 100% of the time, those other dogs will be losing 100% of the time. Maybe you can prove you have the better yard, but those other relatives may have won against other comp. I personally am loyal to my bloodline over anything else.

On my yard, I always rolled what I had, and knew who was better than whom, but that doesn't mean the dogs I sold couldn't whip the rest of what's out there 8.7 times out of 10. It doesn't mean I don't think they were good dogs that couldn't win somewhere else. Remember, the dogs can't control who owns them, and if they're related to yours I would be hoping they'd win against someone else, but that is just me.

That was my logic on it. When someone says that , they making excuses or scared to race..

As a breeder... That's hard to see. Almost as important as the quality of dog, is the quality of people you place them with. If those people are on the same team, you're gonna do well. The Japanese have keiretsu system that is based on relationships. That's a good one to use when you look at who has access to your dogs.
