My own dogs are the smartest I have ever been around. They are ringwise, tractable, and overall have good judgment. They will not hit everything that moves, are generally good with puppies, and are just a pleasure to be around. I have owned lot of dogs from a lot of different lines since my first in 1986, bred a fair number since 1990, and have not.had any finer than I have right now. Stupid dogs never had a place in.our program, and neither have dogs with questions as to their quality in any regard. We have moved out "yard baser" animals that many people would have been happy with because they had something about them that was not up to the standard. When you do that long enough, you end up with dogs that you really like on a very consistent basis.
