Early Starter v Slow Starters

[Milehighmisfit]

I recently recall something that Coy Dickenson wrote regarding this. A lot of the dogs that passed through his hands were based off Carver blood and he said Mr. Carver said most of his dogs were slow starters or late starters, something like that. Coy believed Mr. Carver meant that they were slow to start working real hard in a show, and not that they turned on late. I have heard that many Aligator/Rufus dogs are slow to get going and that blood is, in-part, in-bred off Satin Lady which was supposedly Carvers Ironhead x Carvers Black Beauty.

I also agree with what Jack is saying here. If anything, I have been guilty of waiting too long - in other's opinions anyways. Too young looks just like that kid who comes up from the JV for his first Friday night football game as as sophomore. Like Bambi on ice. And what, outside of seeing what something is like, does this do for anyone?

Man, I've never heard of any athlete ever being TOO READY.
