If Sweat It was being considered, his brother Ride should be seriously looked at. When one is contemplating a dog for his genetic contribution potential, the traits the dog displays naturally should carry a lot of weight. They both have the same pedigree of course but if you can permit yourself to a truly unbiased comparative examination of the two relative to natural ability vs. man-made, you will not be able to ignore Ride. Ride truly is, in my mind, the absolute best sleeper among most of the stud dogs available today.
I couldn't agree with you more. However, what I saw out of Sweat It, was ability that can not be man made. You can not make track power, mouth, locating ability, or tree power. I hunted with him on the last weekend of the year in 2011. It was cold and nasty. I didn't see anything that showed to be man made. I know he reproduces, seen several pups out of him with big mouths,great locates, and treedogs that could move a track. I don't know Curt at all and have no reason to tell anything but my honest opinion. I plan to breed a female to him soon myself.
