May I respectfully make a suggestion, that, if you like your dogs, you concentrate on those who have a little talent and are trained by an "experienced" trainer. There isn't a "team' behind a dog trainer like there is amongst the horses,a dn followinf a decent trainer with a good dog will give you an advantage.

If you wish to back dogs at country events in lower grades, then unless you know the dog, you have buckleys. You need to be at the track, or watch replays that include the country dogs. Even then you're taking the risk that these dogs have the same access to vets and trainig facilities as the others it's racing.

Breeding throws SIMILAR traits in dogs ........ trust me. A dog that has a "cat" as a parent is to be avoided.
