Meanwhile dog B has an unknown ped but is a great dog. You guys are saying that you wouldn't take a chance and breed thst bad ass dog with an unknowm ped? You would rather breed that pretty papered piece of crap based solely on his ped? Let me guess the pretty papered dog is bred to produce right. I will take performance over ped any day, because at the end of the day none of them may not produce anything but me personally my performer is gonna get more chances to prove his self as a producer as opposed to my pretty papered turd.

The fallacy to this thinking is you're comparing polar opposites: Dog A (with pretty papers, but not worth a damn) to Dog B (a badass dog, but with an unknown background).

You're forgetting the most important dog of all, which is Dog C 8-)

Some some of us don't have to make such a "poor man's" choice between the two evils of Dog A and Dog B ... some of us in fact have the luxury of not just "one" dog, but multiple dogs of a third kind you haven't mentioned ... again Dog C (fully-capable, badass dogs ... WITH pretty papers ... who have reliably and consistently produced Champion-caliber, Champion-defeating, BIS-winning dogs for years).

How's that for a wink?
