But, what about virtues? Not all virtues are created equally. If there was a dog out their with excellent shoulders, correct pasterns, proper outline, etc, but was not good going away and you had a bitch who was outstanding going away and came from a pedigree that was good going away... Wouldn't you maybe think outside the box and take the chance that you might have a shot at good shoulders? Aren't generations of straight shoulders as bad as faulty rears? > > As the saying goes - all it takes only one good dog to make a breeding worthwhile.. Sometimes, in order to get the great dogs, you gotta take chances... Unless all you are looking for are a bunch of showable puppies with nothing to offer the breed.Jess M.Paisley Dals (www.paisleydals.com)& The Shepherd Girls (Simmie, CGC, TDI, TC, HIC & Pepper, HIC)Member of: DCA, GSDCA & GTCDC > _________________________________________________________________ > Now you can invite friends from Facebook and other groups to join you on Windows LiveT Messenger.
