Who is the Better Dogman?

[Officially Retired]

I always thought keeping the best dog and bringing the best out of him is the name of the game, I'm pretty sure most Dogmen aren't trying to bring the best out of a cur or any dog that's going to detrimental to his program.

So do you think it works the same way with farming? You should only do your best "after" the crops grow ... or do you think that a farmer's best has to be sown every step of the way first if he expects to get the best overall yield?

I agree it is like farming, what you put in is what you get back, no matter if it's farming, breeding, raising a pup,ect but there are occasion when you don't get back what you expect so what do you do, you get rid of what's not needed so to get a higher % of greatness or the best you associate the best with the best, So IMO I don't think there anything wrong with wanting the best producer, the best athlete, the gamest, the best what ever it is that you look for in a dog in order to acquire the best...JMO

Very well said.

AFTER you've done your best, if the individual doesn't make it, then it sure isn't because of you.

We've all been disappointed by certain individuals, and we have all failed on our end with other individuals, but that doesn't mean new individuals still don't deserve our best.

So IMO I don't think there anything wrong with wanting the best producer, the best athlete, the gamest, the best what ever it is that you look for in a dog in order to acquire the best...JMO

I agree, there is nothing wrong with wanting your dogs to be the best, but there IS something wrong with this if the owner isn't willing to do his best first
