Rage, that's way too many variables to answer. Frosty Paws was dumber than a box of hammers. I've had dogs off him just like that, but like him, they didn't reproduce that particular ignorance when bred. If I have 2 game bums off Frosty, will I breed them? Without a doubt. I've bred 2 quality dogs off Frosty and gotten bums like him, but that's the price of doing business at times. While, in the long run, breeding those types of dogs will give me more like that, it will also continue to nail down the type of gameness that I want my dogs to be based around. I don't make particular breedings for match dogs. If I get those, that's great. Even when I get match quality dogs, I don't always want, or need, to match them. They are dogs I throw back in my program to continue breeding. Not only do they have the gameness I want, but they also have the match qualities I want in a dog, so I'm effectively killing two birds with one stone.

What I hear, at times, is how do I know if they're match dogs? They may not win vs another man's dog. Once a person has been successful for a certain amount of years, they tend to know what quality dogs are for the most part. Those guys don't have to match every quality dog they have to know it's a quality dog. They've been around quality dogs long enough to know what that looks like when it pops up. The best dog I've ever owned, and one of the best I've ever SEEN, was never matched once. Now, probably given it all over to do again, maybe I would've matched her instead of trying to get pups from her. Doesn't really matter at this point, but I saw her do things in such a way that I'd never seen another dog do in all my years with dogs.

The point is that over time, the more you select for one type of animal, the more you'll get that type of animal. Always try to remember that and you'll be fine if you stick with it.
