Of course the dog makes the pedigree and not the other way around. Who hasn't heard of this before? And how many times have you heard the saying, "find a well bred bitch and stick her to a proven stud."

You are still stuck on Ali eating red meat. That's his belief and that deals more with conditioning and not about breeding so that comparison is irrelevant. You are comparing apples to oranges here.

The reality of breeding gamedogs is a gamble. We all know that. Some curs/cold dogs produce and some deep game dogs don't. Which is why no one has it down. I'm calling it how I see it.

I don't breed to untested stock. I was always told breed best to best. But sometimes I have to question that advice when I think of Carver's breeding practice.

I can care less if you think I'm wrong. My opinion about Carver's breeding practice is just that. You can arugue that the game was smaller back then than it is now but for a guy who was breeding to untested females, he sure was successful.

I'm done with this thread because we are just going in circles.
