Would this not be considered spot picking?
If i have a half ass dog im going to look for some a half ass comp?
I see it like this if hes half ass and could only when by going into lesser level bulldogs then why call him/her? We cull what we dont think could swim with sharks! Thats what keeps are gene pool filled with winners and game BULLDOGS that will compete any were on gods green earth! Our pups know the wood even tho they never been to them before,why because that what we're breeding for box lovers its inbedded into their DNA!
Left lane,right lane fast lane, Bred for preformance they will ride out no matter were we are!
Ch Panthro has won in many places plus two diffrent countries with one hanger! If you gotta spot pick for a win your breeding program will suffer because you end up with a line that can only win into lesser comp! If its open and you can make it put the peddle to floor and see how your driving skills are on the open freeway!
Fair enough.
Not necessarily.
To go into a sure loss is foolish. To go into a lame dog is spot-picking.
However, to go into a highly-regarded dog, in whom you see a weakness, that you feel your own dog can exploit is "smart management" ...

Yes it quoted the wrong post! Big hands small phone!
Your right if i see a weakness then i say go all in. Now if so and so has a buzz and is open to the world to see and you have a classmate b.u.t you have never seen so and so then why not step up to plate! Know if its clear to see your classmate cant compete with so and so because you have seen so and so with YOUR OWN two eyes, and your better half says he doesnt stand a day in hell with him then no! At times that can be a double edge because thats were the gamble comes in, if i know were game and dont have a second thought about the heart of mines im going all in why because our heart is in the right place and we wanna move this mountain that they said could not be moved!
All to often you have lack of great comp all because somebody want more$, or they want a titled contender or they cant or wont agree to this! Then they turn right around and party with a lame who they know they would smash!
Some times its ok to try to beat the unbeatable or break the unbreakable!
Well said. If you think you have enough dog to beat the unbeatable, by all means.
And the latter is how "super fights" happen ... aka Titere vs Homer Balboa
^^^ case and point!
if I had a dog at home and got challenge to compete with someone I go
if I think I will loose that dog got no place on my yard
I've lost some , lost into 4 champs and 2 grand champs , I never thought I couldnt take em
Fast lane term has been around for years just as Bush Leagues or back yard. Most people not in the "fast lane" are typically people who are against it. It means nothing, just as riding on the highway the speed limit is the same in both lanes but the left lane is the fast lane lol. You ride with what you can ride with whether that means you can afford the ticket, or you can afford the travel or have the means to. Just because you don't travel to all edges of the earth to get a win don't mean you don't have the best 38 in the world. Just because you do travel all across the globe dont mean you have the best 38, folks are too worried to be caught up in Labels and titles. Fast lane is just a term folks who have the means to pay a little extra to play use to seperate themselves from guys who BS on forfeits or purposely come in off weight or just like to play at the high end table. Doesn't mean for one second they have better dogs or handlers but it also doesn't mean that they don't. You can bust ass in a 1/4 race with your Factory Honda Civic beating all the folks in station wagons but when that Caparo hits the track he might tell you to get to your lane.. Do the best you can by your dogs and all the others will give you the accolades & titles.
Love this. Great post, thank you.
