I've never been one to really brag on any dog I have or had, I think you know that Frosty. I'm super humble in that way, I tend to be hard on them in my opinions, especially if I ever label one as good. But I won't look at them personally as curs to prove me otherwise. That mentality will leave me falling short of many goals I'm afraid, especially because mentally I'm already in a battle with myself. If that makes sense.

I won't actively search out those type of things anymore, but there was a time when I did, and I'm ok with that. Experience has taught me a great many things in regards to dogs. That usually means it will come out in the wash sooner or later, and it usually does. The only goal I ever seriously had was to make sure the dogs I bred represented my ideals of what game dogs should be. Anything more than that was just icing on the proverbial cake.
