The second aspect to keep clear, the asterisk to the above, is the need to back off a bit and allow your young dog the chance to mature-out and bloom before you judge it.

I have watched too many dogmen develop the senseless habit of trying to pick an orange off the tree while it's still green, and then discarding it because it "tastes bad." This type of ineffective farming is a poor way to evaluate and harvest oranges. It is much more sensible to allow the orange to fully develop into a final, deep-orange fruit before you pluck it so you can have a realistic opportunity to enjoy the flavor.

This basic principle of farming applies to dogs too,

I agree totally! You have to have patience with these dogs, and evaluate them indiviually, depite how they are bred. But as for the AWESOME BEAST dogs, I have one thats all that I look for in a bulldog! She is energetic, agile, fast, rough, with the smarts to go with it. Can't say if all that is attributed to AWESOME BEAST, but he is her sire; although, her dam was a real good one as well, being a daughter of BLACK BEAST & BUNKY, as well as being a littermate to the 4xw ROSE bitch. I love mine; thats all I can say... Wish you luck with yours.
