On another note lets not act like it's easy to get hooked every time you have a weight ready, for whatever reasons many dogs in the same era never got to meet. Was it spot picking or timing or simply the men didn't know of each other?
Well i never ask, but normally word travels and you hear what you going into or bred. If you know the folks typically you know the types of dogs they run. If I like Eli dogs then I will familiar myself with folks with Eli dogs so i can see how their dogs compare to mines if they are bred alike will even give them a pup or two when i breed so i can see how my dogs excel in others hands. Normally just put out a weight, folks will typically say i have a 2x looking for 2x and up. So if mines isn't I dont answer the bell unless i hear that dog still looking after time and say hey i dont have a 2x but i have your weight. Many dogs dont get too meet because folks dont want to risk losing their "Ace" or "Badass" hound of now. Some folks will work avenues to not meet another bad ass hound before they are titled so even if they lose, they can say they loss to a Ch.

Perfect example my uncle had a nice Ch, that was gaining notice, well he was chasing another Ch and another Ch was chasing that CH. Before you knew it, 5 CH's all chasing each other. They couldn't agree to terms so i said i got his weight and I will bet CH money even tho mines was a 1x, my uncle kindly told me no, he seen my boy go just as i seen his go. He said that boy will either embarass my boy or i will have to retire my boy afterwards because i seen the cutters and those boars he caught aint no joke. Well the original CH end up losing to another CH. Then 1 other ch got retired leaving the last 2, they both went opposite ways, one becoming a GRCH the other a 4x. They danced and the GrCh end up losing to my uncles 4x who became GRCCH. He took him back out and lost to a Ch. Could we say they were ducking? Yes you could say it, but can't blame him for wanting a hound that was considered upper echelon by many.
