I see it like this if hes half ass and could only when by going into lesser level bulldogs then why call him/her? We cull what we dont think could swim with sharks! Thats what keeps are gene pool filled with winners and game BULLDOGS that will compete any were on gods green earth! Are pups know the wood even tho they never been to them before,why because that what we're breeding for box lovers its inbedded into their DNA!
Left lane,right lane fast lane, Bred for preformance they will ride out no matter were we are!
Ch Panthro has won in many places plus two diffrent countries with one hanger! If you gotta spot pick for a win your breeding program will suffer because you end up with a line that can only win into lesser comp! If its open and you can make it put the peddle to floor and see how your driving skills are on the open freeway!

Not necessarily.

To go into a sure loss is foolish. To go into a lame dog is spot-picking.

However, to go into a highly-regarded dog, in whom you see a weakness, that you feel your own dog can exploit is "smart management" ...
