I posted this on another board and thought id toss it here so see what folks have to say....

Many people will say... a line is only as good as its average dog. Is it also fair to say that a line is only as great as its best dogs?

MOST people wont see the average of a line, they will see or hear about the above average dogs or the fantastic and exceptional dogs in the line... the ones being campaigned. Whether u are public or private most likely those are the ones your line will be known for.

If a line is wrought with average dogs and they produce like dogs, never producing the exceptional examples that become figureheads, what can u really say about that line?


to ask the question again in case i lost direction... Many people will say... a line is only as good as its average dog. Is it also fair to say that a line is only as great as its best dogs?
