I agree with you that the keep isn't 6-8 weeks. This is why I hate the large yard dog people. I think it's counter productive. The dogs receive minimal attention. They aren't worked out. Any high level athlete has no offseason. There's a basic level of physical fitness that needs to be maintained. These large dog yards don't get that. Just random breeding and the hope there is a phenom in there. A pile of dead dogs. Someone bragging how hard they are on the dogs.

I hear you on the consistency of red boy jocko dogs. It starts with how they were bred. My interest isn't in redboy jocko dogs per se but yellow John cottingham dogs no jocko.
