these dogs are only flesh and bone..i totally understand that...i was a collegiate football player. during my playing days i played at about 175(i was a cb), when we played utah there was a time when i had to "stick my nose in there" on three 370+lbs men coming at me with a running start(i say men because utah is known for having a lot of mormons that don't enroll until they are 24-25 because of missions). i had to do this over and over throughout the game. my TEAM needed me to do that. i wasn't BRED to take on men a one full size bigger than me, i was built for speed and agility not brute power, but i did over and over again. it was what i needed to do that game to win. taking you guys standpoint if i had quit you would be okay with it...just let me play in another game...well that isn't how it works. when you quit you lose your position and you may never get it again, simply because you have shown the qualities of a quitter. the team now knows that when it gets tough you will quit on them. as a coach if i see that a player quits on me i won't play them again. they have shown they will quit on me so there is no need for them to play anymore. i hate a few things in this world one of them being a front runner....wel the same thought process goes for these dogs. they are apart of our team. their contribution is to catch the hog over and over again, no quit no back up. if you can't do that then you lose your job, never to be won again. it's like a pro team, if a player quits on you, during the off season(and sometimes in the middle of the season)you trade them out. they make work out for someone else. for me and my team they won't work...i've never quit so why would i allow my dogs to?
