That's the whole reason for it in my opinion. I had alot of dogs in the past and I woogie woogie wuvved thems, yes I did, yes I did!
I got attached to them, let my wife get attached to them and let my feelings for them cloud my judgement of their piss poor performances.
I have since then learned the value of saying $&@" it! Click click boom.

Took the words right out of my mouth!!
My fiancé gets attached to some of the dogs and I have to STRESS to her that I'm not running a dog rescue! I've only been doggin for four years but I've asked for advise from some of the dog men that's been doing it for 20++ and all o them say CULL HARDER!!!
And yes some dogs mature faster then others but u need to set boundaries that u will not pass in their age. I was told that there should be culling stages, and DON'T MAKE EXCUSSES FOR YOUR DOGS PISS POOR PROFORMANCE!! And yeh you are going to cull some dogs that will turn out to be great strike dogs when that switch finally goes off in their head to hunt hard. but that still wouldn't be considered a breeder correct? It would be better to have dogs hunting hard by themselves by one year to one and a half years old or even younger. The dog men that have achieved this are the ones that have pups striking hogs solo on a regular basis. Words to go by CULL HARDER BREED SMARTER
I'm always willing to learn more and I'm the first one to jump at the opertunity to talk too a doggin vet so if anything I mentioned should be inhanced or changed please tell me. I'm the last person to get butt hurt over advise:)
