Great topic.

It is mostly opinion but that makes for great conversation.

For me a freak and an ace are different. The freak has a physical attribute that separates him from the competition. Like mouth. The bite is so hard, the shakes so violent and the intensity is so rough nothing can stay. Freak strong as to they can't be kept away from where they are going. A freak just powers through, steam rolls what is front of him/her.

An ace is all about talent and ability. They have every answer and always seem to be a step or decision ahead of any thing in front of them. They appear to have figured things out pretty much as they are happening or even before.

Not the Charlie above but DTA's Ch. Charlie. He was an ace. He moved to spots where he could not be harmed, yet was delivering all the while. He played the game that way til the slightest let up by the other and then he throat checked. 4 went in, 2 did not come out, 1 quit and one was left long enough for aftercare to be a non-issue.

In his third he was going into a RBJ ass end specialist. We were a little worried as we did not have anything like that and none of our dogs had been exposed/schooled for that type of work. The RBJ dog had sent two away.

When they were released Charlie went straight in his back end from the get go. Ruined him at his own game in short order. Never before had he even sniffed in that area. Never had he or had he experienced it.

Simply figured it out before it actually happened.

Another in a line of made up stories to keep the board moving along.LOL
