I agree with everything you said, but have to correct you on the "as game as any other line" statement.

The fact (and two-decade record) proves that the percentages of gameness that Poncho dogs repeatedly and consistently display are gamER than nearly any other line of dogs today. I am sorry, but I take a huge amount of pride in the gameness percentages of these dogs, and I haven't painstakingly bred to nothing but high-percentage specimens for 20+ years just to be "as" game as other people's hit-n-miss beauties

Naturally, I realize that all lines have produced game dogs, but the point I am making is that most lines produce legions of average curs for every DG dog they produce. Not so with Poncho dogs--DG dogs are quite common in this line, while rank curs are almost unheard of. The truth is most of the popular bloodlines out there have abysmal gameness percentages, dog-for-dog, compared to my dogs (with the very rare exceptions noted and respected).
