There is nothing wrong with this concept, per se. This approach can lead to early culls. For me bad signs are bad signs and that is all I need to see. If my dogs were rated on a 1-10 scale I am not culling all the 7's and 8's while waiting for the 9's and 10's. With the 9's and 10's I am betting on my dogs. With the 7's and 8's I am betting on me, what I think I can do with that dog and then in the end I am betting on the dog. That is how I took the question. I am thinking my abilities will get that 7 and 8 dog to a successful spot.

My take on the question was is the better dog man the one that will work with that 7 or 8 dog or the one that knocks them in the head in hopes for the 9's or 10'. I voted for the guy who can wait and put in the time. EWO
