Cmon, you're telling me you have no idea which pups are going to be the best?
You're telling me you get it wrong more than right?
That damned sure isn't the case when I breed dogs.
IMO, anyone who really knows dogs knows which pups are superior, and at a very early age.
And anyone who knows how to breed dogs, does so in a way that he repeatedly gets litters with high-percentages of at least pretty good dogs, some really good.
In fact, the person who CAN'T tell which pups are going to be superior, and who CAN'T reliably produce above-average litters is NOT a good breeder (or dogman) IMO.
Seriously, how can you call such a man "good" at breeding ... he's basically an average, clueless retard?
