I'll add my 2 cents. Generally when a dog like Nazi originally takes the punishment that puts him in that position, 9 times out of 10 the dog dies even if you pick them up at that point. The fact that Nazi took that, and kept pushing along is paramount to anyone that wants to talk about gameness. Dogs like Nazi will make you question such things, as it should when it happens. What Nazi had to endure to live afterwards, with all type of professional aftercare, is amazing. Not only did the dog show unbelievable heart, he showed the same will to live.

That type of risk is always there, and unless you have that type of professional care available to you, your dog is going to pass. So do you pick him up and have him die, or do you leave him down and let him go out on his shield, if need be? You should be prepared for such things because they can, and will, happen.

As a side note, I'd breed every bitch I have to Nazi if I were able.
