Who would want a "washout" stockdog? Or even a retired one? The first implies failure, the second that its best days are behind it. But if it comes from the field trial world, there's a good chance that dog will have more talent and high level training than any pup we raise and train ourselves for farm and ranch work. A pro is a pro, even if it didn't make it in the big leagues. Welcome to Farm Dog.
