How important is structure in your dogs to y'all???

If you are going to breed, you better cull. Ensuring the proper placement of pups plays a large role in this. Most folks can't keep an entire litter to evaluate and cull properly. So, placing them with folks that will is imperative.

For structure...the type of work will sort the structure if your are sorting and culling to a strict, high standard. The dogs that work at a high level regularly and frequently will obviously have the most correct structure for the job at hand. I guess what I'm saying is that if you do your due diligence in evaluating, sorting and removing from the genepool those that don't meet the working standard...structure (or lack there of) will not be an issue.
