hey yellowblackmask (or anyone else)

You dang foundation hater !!! Lets get this riot started...haha..just kiddin... everybody is entitled to there own opinion. I have seen some decent dogs out of some well known names. (My opinion of decent may be and probably is totally different than others) then again i have seen plenty of culls as well. Here is what i think. Even though i have some foundation dogs. When you have really well know names on a dog. (Ladner, weatherford,howard,carnathan etc) those are all old and well know names. And over the years people will start breeding the Name . Not the ability of the dog. With the smaller names like ybm has ,those dogs are primarily or entirely owned by hunters and sometimes close friends that only breed within each others small circle. Which does create a closely monitored better culled stock. Which will intern produce better producers. And stronger ginetics for what you want a dog to do...i aint knocking the foundation dogs though. I have them and i like them.
