The ROM and POR systems both have flaws, one of them being volume breeding; particularly on the male side, can mask a marginal producer by putting a title behind his name. Conversely, some high percentage producers never got credit due to small scale breeding, poor management, or preservation efforts that didn't allow certain individuals to be exhibited. Don't get me wrong, I like show dogs for my brood dogs as often as possible, I think Jack can attest to that, and at a minimum I have always used hard tested brood stock. Up until 2013, I still had tested dogs to breed to. For me today that is not possible as I don't use the dogs for performance personally, and I am down to a handful of basically pet dogs. There are some guys I am working with to get the bloodline revived a bit, and perhaps they will show some of them down the road.
Very well said! Makes a lot sense! In this case if I want to acquire some dogs it'll be best to buy directly from the source or buy from a person I know and can trust.
