scatter bred v's line bred

[EWO]

That pretty much happened with the scatter bred bitch I wrote about earlier. He bought dogs for a lot of $$$ from guys out there winning shows. She cleared the chain spots at every chance. She was that good. I had one close to the same weight and we used them to check each other. That bitch went on to pick up four W's. Mine picked up 2 herself. Six wins total between the two and none of the six delivered what that check did. Five more minutes between them and maybe this story never develops. These bitches never seen anything like each other in six times out. They were both winners but not any of the wins said "bulldog" more than their special time together. So it goes both ways. The true test does not have to be up and down the road, and the best show may not be the show itself. EWO

This is what I like about dogs. Everybody have their own way of doing stuff, in the end it is you and only you who that need to be pleased. I too have seen multi winners that i would not feed. Make a plan and stick to it. Cull the ones you don't like and eventually you will end up with a decent stock. If one is satisfied with checking quality at home, that is great. I will do it different, but that doesn't automatically make my dogs any better than the guy who does it different.
