Why We Stay In The Game

I learned years ago that a man can get so wound up in it that it takes a lot of the fun out of it if not most of it. So wound up about breedings , so wound up about having the best dogs out of all your friends and every were you go, so wound up about having this are that, that people forget they are suppose to be doing this for fun and because they love it and enjoy it, not because it is a competition with yourself and others. Ive seen great dogs come from Multi Millionaires and I have seen just as great of dogs come from dirt poor country boys, seen them come from great breeders and I have seen them come from people that didn't know the first thing about breeding just put two dogs together and I have even seen them come off the street, there is always a better dog somewere man . Find yourself a happy medium and things will be a whole lot better thats what I did.

I've been there to were it consumes you and all the sudden its more like a full time job and loosing's its enjoyment. So now a days I know I got a good line of dogs , I know were ever I go my dogs are going to find hogs if they are there some spots make a dog look great that couldnt find a hog in a tuff spot know what I mean. I know when I make certain breedings what is coming out of them so I don't worry about it no more I just go and have fun and enjoy it like it was meant to be . I've lost great dogs and soon learned not to fret over it its just part of the deal and move on to the next ones coming up . Thats why if I have a dog that is what I want I tend to put them up and use them for brood and hunt their offspring that way I always got more coming to replace them. Anyway man when it gets to be bothering you like that and feels more like work, then that is what told me hey I need to take a step back and put things in perspective and I did and have not had to worry about it any more. A mans gonna have what a man is gonna have.

Good luck just take a deep breath think about it.
