How important is structure to you?

[CYJ]

Excellent structure with deep breathing lungs go hand in hand with a dog being able to show it's gameness. Believe it was Vince Lombardi that said severe fatigue makes cowards of men or something to that effect. Mr. Tudor said, many times fatigue and heat will stop a dog quicker than punishment. He stated that proper conditioning was 85 % of the winning. Which also means you got to have a well put together athletic type dog that can be put in shape.

If all things equal. A skinny long legged, high station extreme Upside down U Chested dog. This type dog has no chest mass upfront to withstand a hard biting chest dog. Or a compact barrel chested heavy muscled dog is at a disadvantage. If pulling against a well built proportioned dog. Some of the dogs I have seen in the past and lately. That are big pound for pound in weight and bone structure. Were the Jocko/Red boy dogs, these little Vise Grip dogs and some of the best Eli/Art's Missy/Bolio bred dogs. There are others as well. Just IMHO.
