How about this for another side of the coin?

Let's use the original Hollingsworth dogs as an example. They were an exceptionally-high-percentage family of dogs ... but how many multiple-Champion pure Lady In Red dogs were there? The foundation dog, Lady In Red, threw tons of game dogs, but many of them couldn't survive passed the first match?

This sport isn't only about gameness, it is about winning, is it not?

Take a look at this dog right here as an example: Gr Ch Wacko.

Okay, so the dog lost and quit his last time out ... but, DAMN!, he was a 6xW and beat 2 Champions 8-)

Surely this has some value, if not MORE value, than a game plug who can barely make it passed 1 show?

In other words, while it may be true that some of these dogs aren't exceptionally game, if pressed hard enough, it is also true that they repeatedly and consistently produce Champions, multiple winning Champions, and you simply have to take your hat off to them for that.
