monkey with a loaded gun

DeHose write one very interesant opinion :

I think it is important to discuss long lived males and know them better but I honestly do not see it making a difference, no one seems to pay attention. Too many healthy line males have been lost or not used because they would not produce instant gratification in the form of great winners. The problems we have with dogs now come from breeders and can only be solved by breeders. Choices have been made to focus on winners without looking at the big picture, which means sometimes one must take a step back in one area to be able to take two steps forward in another. Too many people breeding do not understand the fundamentals of breeding. This does not mean they cannot produce nice products, but it does mean they do not understand what they are building on. The best example I can make is it's like a monkey with a loaded gun, it can operate the gun, but it's also likely to shoot itself in the face sooner or later.

WELLCOME deHose !
