There are some really good dogs out there that where culls at one point for some one with a set goal but made outstanding for some one else with other thoughts

not long ago a young man on this site mentioned he had a good young dog coming on strong and then became a cull because he started barking on track...if that makes a dog a cull then all my dogs will be culled...so it is personal preference...
others cull because a young dog or even an older dog are trashy...I call those diamonds in the rough
JP...I agree with what you said...however...if you like a certain style of dog whichever it may be then breed the very best and as best you can for that style...lord knows we have enough culls out there getting bred...
one thing for sure...if you don't like culling then breed the very best within a family of dogs...and the chances of producing a high percentage of good dogs go up to include 100 percent in some cases...they may not all hunt exactly the same but they will hunt...the job of the breeder is to keep the very best that fit in the breeding program...so they in turn can do their part in producing true...breeding better dogs is easy f you know what you are doing...the hardest part is finding some good dogs to start with...
Judge..from your past writings I don't think you would do well as a great dog breeder...I don't mean it in any bad way...you seem to be a very lenient kind of fellow and I don't see being that way...to be very helpful when breeding better dogs...but what confuses me about you is that you are a cabinet maker...that to me tells me you are a very detailed person...I could never do it...I wish I could build awesome cabinets...lol
