Yall talking about great dogs over here.....and Im just trying to get a good one?!

In all honesty. Ive had some very, very, very good dogs. BUT
Ive yet to have my great dog. The closest thing I had got crippled up young. Still was a very very good dog.
That said Ive only seen 1-2 truly great dogs. Of those ones I have seen.....when bred always seemed to produce below average dogs, even when bred to good dogs. Dont know if the expectation was too high on the offspring or discouragement from the owners? But it is funny how that works sometimes. Do yall see the same?
Leone I have seen the same thing when breeding what I consider top tier dogs. Seems like what they reproduce tends to drop more down to the average altho to be fair to the dogs we have bred the females while good were not in the same class as the male. Now what I have seen is dogs reproduce better then what they are.
T Dog I am going to have to redefine what I call a top dog. I have never been offered a brand new truck for any of my culls, not even a older one. lol
