me personly look at the dam and sire if they do the job you want then thats the pup for me.i only look beyond that if the dogs are on the the same yard as the pups ,alot of peds (not all)arnt worth the paper there wrote on . and as for haveing one gould dog in the ped that far back is by no means gould bred . to me wether it gould , steven's, wheeler, ETC, should run through one or both sides all the way to say its of that breeding. all the best rye
