EWO, I came to the conclusion of flirting with disaster years ago, and generally discontinued the practice except for a few exceptions. The deal is though, these exceptions were often the best dogs in other areas too, just like CH Angel. Are there risks? Absolutely! Are there benefits that make it "worth it"? Perhaps, I sure see enough to make me convinced that it's a way to raise exceptionally well rounded, highly conditioned animals. And if it isn't worth it for us, can we consider that it might still be worth it for the sake of the dogs?
