Back on this dead horse. Gonna beat it some more. Maybe I'm selfish. As a breeder. I wish i was a dog man but i look at my slots like a pro nfl team. A dog has to offer something. When i look at pups i try to look at my slots. Do i need a hyper energy pup for the mix. Are my dogs getting too much muscle etc. I say that because out my litters I eat first. They say Mr. Boudreaux used to sell off his best stock. Basically people get what they wanted first. He was a better dogman so he dealt with what was left. I wonder how many of the shy dogs on this thing get worked back into a breeders brood pen because they were left. The shy dog gets worked back in. Inbreeding etc can be a powerful and dangerous tool. Any trait that is there will be amplified for the good or bad. Something to think about. I don't have a lot of litters. Let's say my hands have been over 40 different pups out those pups i keep five. The five can change a great amount. I dont have money or space to raise every pup to maturity. Maybe some do. Point is looking at some of the temperaments can help. When they get bred it works into the line. I think there can still be competitive dogs we can live with. If they get out they are still stable. I think people look at these fearful aggressive dogs like they are tough. They aren't. They are more dangerous.
