There are basically two types of Curs. First type is in the schooling faze and the schooling is properly done. The dog is hot and mad to have dog contact. Once given the chance and things start to get rough. It starts wanting out of the situation and when the pressure is off this type dog. It shows great relief and will stand the line.

The worst of the worst type cur is the one that is in top shape and makes it to a show. IMHO is why I believe one should never put up a large Show ring fee on the first get go. No matter how well a show dog shows out in it's schooling.

This type Cur stays mostly top dog or even. Needing too make one more scratch or two to win, stands the line. IMHO both types should be discarded and never given away to a newbie in the game. These are those dogs in a lot of our pedigrees from the past that can come back to haunt us when the stakes are high.

Now I do not advocate just breeding every cold dog. But there are those situations where one that has a lot of experience with their own family of dogs can do so. There are many variables. Certain strains of these dogs mature slower than other strains. One defiantly is dogs heavily bred around those Tudor Dibo strain of dogs.

Some times the better female siblings of a female cold dog will not raise puppies or produce a bunch of high strung nut cases. The other is being the last living sibling of a great breeding. One last thing if a cold dog is used at least one time to see how it produces. That dog should be very well built with no bad psychical traits. Still a cold dog should only be used as a last resort.

IMHO opinion the best breeding's are the ones that produced a high percentage of game dogs hopefully with great ability. Many times I have seen this done. Yet that breeding is never repeated much as possible. Instead it's off to the next hottest stud dog on the market. By the time most of this is figured out. The original dogs are dead or to old to breed or the breeder has gotten discourage and quit the game. Sounds like a big ole Minnie Me. LOL Cheers
