Adding to this.

The normal person's brain is not wired to understand all of this does that mean they are dumb in no way.  The great breeders think outside the ordinary !  What it means is it takes years and years of breeding to understand all of this .  Like some of the Ole time hound breeders .  The Plott's,  The Weems,  people who have lived and breathed dogs all there life's and lived in the great era of time.  They know this but its not something that is advertised in the news paper are these open message boards.  The old Pit breeders knew this Earl Tudor, Wallace, Hemphill, Trahan, Corvino they all knew this but it took years and years to rewire their brains to understand this it took hands on eye ball to eye ball experience to see this and to understand this then it took even more to apply it .

The normal persons brain is wired to think just the opposite they thinks it takes perfect confirmation , the perfect nose , the perfect speed , the perfect stamina to make and become the perfect stud are brood dog.  This is far from the truth of the matter a dog should look like his pedigree in all reality and if you can learn to pick and choose accordingly then you are a rare man .  I can understand how people want to see the perfect dog with all the bells and whistles to be the one it all seems logical and of course there are some but they are few and far between the true perfect specimen that can become the pre potent touch a bitch dog and produce 10 out of 10 liters .


These old men that have bred dogs for some 40-50 yrs has been threw all of this but do you think for one min they are going to tell you this not hardly.   I say this openly because there is very very very very few people these days that have the time, money and the means to do all of this themselves. Generations have changed and changed the people that live in them.  Times have changed and so have the people.  How many men is left like these old time breeders the Plotts the Weems the old mountain men, the old pit breeders who were some of the greatest at gene pooling.
 I can tell you very very very few and far between just like the perfect dog that produces nearly perfect every time.  It takes a young man to come from the bottom up to do the great things these old men have done and there is just not many willing to sacrifice what it takes and the times are just entirely different these days nobody lives in the era these old men did .

I think the era these old men lived in contributed greatly to who they are today .
