I kept 3 and the other 3 were placed where I knew about them. Calley, the only female, I kept. Along with Skeeter and Scabber. Scabber and Skeeter were evaluated straight up. I kept what I considered the best dog in the litter, in Skeeter. I sold Scabber to Dmitry of AC/DC Kennels. He informed me after about a month, "I don't know about this Scabber." I did inquire and he informed me that the hog he was on had hit a bleeder so they ended it. I assured him, he payed for a good dog. He came back a month after that to inform me that Scabber had DOA'd "the best hog I've ever owned in 7 minutes". He renamed him Diablo and built an entire kennel and reputation off of that single dog. Worked great with the Limey stuff as well as many other lines. Just some more history of a dog in the pedigree of a great dog.
That is what it's all about: seeing something that really hits the bullseye and then basing everything you do on "making more of it"
