First step is knowing gold when you see it... that makes panning for it a hell of a lot easier. Once you know exactly what you are looking for, you will notice that others you associate with aren't looking for the same thing. The ones you like, maybe they don't! The traits you would love to replicate, maybe they are too subtle or it just isn't these fella's fancy. Trust and believe that we are not all looking for the same thing and when you narrow down what you are looking for it will make your search a lot easier and with a lot more meaning to it. People let go of good dogs all the time as good is only relative to your own standards n like I said... our standards vary between one another.
