Tnhillbilly,
It took us a while to acquire dogs of this caliber. My father told us that when getting cattle, horses or dogs to get the best genetics and go from there. As a young kid starting on my own, I didnt do that and have learned from that mistake.
Although it is true if you put enough miles on any horse or dog you can usually make a finished product, but if you start out with the best genetics you get there so much quicker and happier.
