Agreed. It is similar in theory to breeding to the freak out of a family of plugs. Most will chase the freak in their plans but end up with mostly plugs. It just works that way.

My buddy had CH Angel. She was a newspaper dog a kid bought and through his legal issues she was pawned off on his grandmother. She would escape any 10X10 before you could close the door. Climb the fence like she was a monkey. She ran up the road and ran along the fence line his dogs trying to play. Tail wagging and just being a 6 month old puppy. He would carry her down the road, put her in the pen and she just about beat him back home.

The grandma asked him if he would take the dog. With it he got a 10X10 in great shape, a nice igloo doghouse, two bags of food in a metal can and a set of papers with a pedigree. He did the older lady a favor and took the dog. He chained her out and let her grow up.

He had moved from the game birds to the game dogs and had amassed quite the collection of well bred solid game dogs. He spent some $$$ to get there as well.

When the time came Angel stopped one of the best bitches I ever owned. Then planted two more. Then went on to win three with two RIP for sure and one I am not sure about the ride home.

If you can name a family or bloodline from the 80's and 90's it was in Angel. I am not sure how a dog could be that scatterbred. it would be hard to do on purpose. Red Boy, Snooty, Miss Pool Hall Red, Molly Bee, Midnight Cowboy/Boomerang, the dogs that made Maverick and Skull, the dogs that made Dirty Mary, Bolio and Andy Capp. Just a hodge podge of dogs. Frisco being the only dog on the top and the bottom. Just crazy.

And she ran along the river near here with two Blue Heelers and wrestled and play fought like a puppy in her retirement.

When she was rolled once her owner had a broke leg. She looked like shit with no effort and just taking it just to take it. This old guy who had seen her told him to step over the wall and talk to her and within just a few minutes she had planted another.

All that from the bottom. Laying on her back she put dogs to sleep.

When bred to males that had already produced maybe one or two games dogs out of the litters but nothing that made it to the show. And if she had been a male with the same resume she would have been bred a hundred times on reputation/resume alone. And I am pretty sure it would have been a lottery type win to get CH Angel all over again.

So the good dogs, even the great dogs, can come from anywhere.

Repeating the process will prove difficult.
