A dog at peak for a length of time will quickly become stale. It needs to be some sort of release and rest after that much work. EWO
Honestly speaking I've only had about 4 dogs i could say i thought were closed to being at Peak.. all 4 i would say were over 90%.. I've only known about 3 men who constantly got dogs to be as close to 100% every time they shaped one. They also been around dogs between 20-30 years in the dogs as well. What you said though made perfect sense because my buddy said until i learn how to peak at the perfect time, it's better to be close to peak then to get there and come out stale.. I understand exactly what you meant..
