I don't think you get it .
Actually...I get it alot more than you think, have had top comp. coon,Sq and rabbit dogs and do very much get it. Problem is I want the best with natural abillity and I DON'T have the extra time for all the little training exercises. I want the best, natural dog I can get that I don't have to baby or coax along. I want to hunt with them, not play.
So..if you raise a few pups from a litter...you don't do anything at all until they are old enough to hunt?
If the rule is...even out of jam up sire and dam, all pups won't make dogs....haven't you wasted a lot of time or at least feed money on the pups that don't make?
A few simple runs will let you select the pups that show that natural talent.
I believe that's what Roberts getting at...that's what I think anyway.
