Question for Jack

Sometimes you need that contrast in life to really clarify things and help you understand what it is you really want/need. It helps to have a different perspective and see things in a new light so that you can FEEL what it is that is either missing, or something that maybe you can really do without.

Absolutely.

The old saying, "You're so close to the trees, you can't see the forest," applies.

I can see you having dogs again also. Maybe you start all over again with totally different dogs just to challenge yourself, or just starting back up with your Amazon dog and finding those precious few dogs that may be left to continue on for you and your dogs legacy.

I will definitely start with my own family.

I just "get their vibe" and like the dogs I've created better than most of what else I've experimented with in the past.

I am going to have to see what is there, and what is lacking, in the specimens I pick up ... and (along with the knowledge I already have of their background) start incorporating some of the elements I feel might enhance what's already there.

One thing I intend to do also, is increase the size a little bit ... but that will also be hard to stick to if the little ones keep showing me more, pound-for-pound

I say good for you regardless of the choice.

Thank you!

Jack
