That is rather confusing Reuben. We hunt hard, cull hard and breed the best to the best to try and produce the best dogs for ourselves. How is that not trying to make a better dog as opposed to them being born? Kind of the same thing or am I missing something? ( I am well aware that it doesn't guarantee that all the pups if any will be super stars, but keeping a few out of a litter to make sure that what you are doing is working then selling them according to age and ability seems only logical)
Joey...I agree that culling hard and lots of hunting makes a well bred pup that inhereted the right traits...be on track to make a great dog...if I am paying 900 dollars for an 8 month old pup I will have to see greatness for his age... because I will never pay 900 dollars for a pup on just genetics alone unless he was the only pup or dog left from a line of dogs that I wanted to preserve...good or great dogs can be found in a high percentage out of the right line of dogs but it is not 100 percent...
I wouldn't pay 900 dollars for a good dog...I would for a very good dog or even the right pup that is performing in an outstanding way...
