[t-dog]

The human element is absolutely the weakest link. It’s usually because of kennel blindness or pride. I have a young gyp here now that is heavy back to my old Clyde dog. I would love it if she was what she’s bred to be but as luck would have it, I think she’s going to have to make a dog for someone else. Her litter mates are making nice dogs from what I’m told. The way everyone is describing them they are true to the family in characteristics, but she is lacking. She loves a hog but she doesn’t have those hot feet I like. I do believe with patience she will make it but it isn’t as natural as it is to the others in her litter. I have other young dogs that the have that go I want and like a hog every bit as much as she does. The spot she is occupying would be be served and spent on one of them. Some would cull her absolute but I’m gonna give her a chance to make. There’s a young day working cowboy that wants to take her and try her so we’ll see if she has it in her for that. I told him exactly what she knew and exactly why I wasn’t keeping her. I could keep her and breed her like I’ve seen a lot of people do because of what she is but it would likely set me back instead of helping. Doing that would be kennel blindness. Not making an outcross when it’s needed would be pride getting in the way.
