Well, Pat Patrick's blood is behind some of the best dogs ever to look through a collar. Unfortunately, Patrick had all their dogs killed a few years back, but to be honest, the quality of their stock had diminished considerably by then.

I mean, I myself purchased multiple dogs from the Patrick's 20+ years ago, and only 2 made the grade, and that was a long time ago (but the two that made it were both excellent animals).

So, historically, Pat's line is one of the greatest lines ever, but at this point I am not sure it could consistently stand up to the best there is today. Some of them could, though, I am sure.
