I have this idea that what people do comes out in their dogs. Maybe he was a crooked black smith that conned people out of money.

I doubt that. He worked around hot ass ovens banging out steel products. Had to be a tough dude. Prob why his line was known for gameness. I'm just getting into breeding. I bet in the end. My dogs will be smart, athletic, game good temperament, good conformation. Solid on average. If you do your part you will be in the game.
