When the exception becomes plentiful it falls out of the exceptional category and becomes average.
The best any breeder can do in my mind, is to breed the best he/she can find, preferably from a family line while keeping an eye on the intrinsic traits and physical confirmation that provide the opportunity for an extraordinary individual to come to the surface on occasion.
This is a good saying 👍🏼
I think we have as many old blooded walkers as there are, and the big difference is they like to be right.
I truly believe in line breeding these dogs, one outside cross can change your whole dynamics without a lot of homework. Lipper , Coma , Yadkin River ....track dogs.
We work hard at maintaining these lines and blending.
