I sure am not saying that you were wrong at all...and I do believe that waiting until 2.5 to 3 years to know for sure is the best way no doubt...but I knew my dogs well and I knew what they were going to be by 10 months of age or sooner...in some breeds a pup doesn't really show much until 1.5 years of age... but if I don't see what I liked at 6 months I move them on...just my way of doing things...does this mean that they are culls???no...not by a long shot, they are not meeting my personal standards so I move them on...
I judge my pups at all ages past 7 or 8 weeks and it is a progression curve and they need to meet it or better yet stay above it...I am not a hard a$$ just have my standards...
