i'll just throw this out there . with an established line you have all sorts of variables . now considering the [ so so ] good dog is it a result of the line or a not so great owner . i know the dogs i've kept off my line are silent swift and deadly but some on other yards are just so so dogs [ good but not great ] now i've been doggin many years and the beginners that have gotten pups are just that beginners . so is it the dogs or the owner . could i not take a gyp back that don't hunt the greatest and breed to my stud and get exeptional dogs ? well i'm sure i could . too many variables when breeding dogs to say you can only breed to outstanding dogs to get outstanding dogs . like forrest gumps momma said , life is like a box o chocolates
when we quit experimenting with breeding we fall behind or just come to a complete halt .
