you make great points...on the other thread he just asked two questions and most only deal with the first..no one really responded to his second question..no one really flat out stated if his standards were below most people or equal...i know you have recently been in a similar situation so you have first hand knowledge...
as far as the culling part to each his own, but the only way to get top notch locked in traits is to cull hard. the pit bull is what it is today because they culled VERY hard. any bad signs at any age and they were culled, it was just that simple. when i say they culled hard, i personally know of people that had to cull a dog then go and cull half his yard because he based his yard on this dog. when the dog quit he had to take his breeding in a new direction he didn't want any quitters in his line..THAT is the only way to truly have top notch dogs...not everyone is willing to do that, i understand that. but like i said the pit bull is what it is today because people culled dogs hard because they new it was for the betterment of the breed...i was schooled in breeding by the older timers in the pit bull world so when it comes to culling i was taught to cull hard...VERY hard...hunting dogs is a little different so my opinions aren't always supported..lol..
