The horse boys have known the importance of good females for a long time. The bird dog boys know it for sure. A great producing female is a treasure. The bird dog boys call them "Blue Hens". One female was bred to 6 different males over her lifetime and produced champions in every litter.

When there were still quail and I had bird dogs I had a string of 6---all female. They are just easier to work with and can find just as many if not more birds than any male.

The problem is guys want to hunt the good ones and breed the sorry ones.
