Emphasized by some ....but practiced by few.
........THE ART OF CULLING A non working product......
Dogs were tools utilized by our forefathers. Simple math if the tool did not work they both starved..thus through deduction I would conclude culls were not tolerated back then due to plain ole survival.
If you want the best you can get your hands on don't settle for something you find yourself making excuses for.
Discipline yourself to cull even above the bar of decent if you want to mirror the individuals that didn't say ( ole red is just having a bad day so the family can't eat tonight)
One dog.......two...a whole litter........several litters...cull till you hit something that you are proud to feed everyday.
O yea. JMO...
