I thought this might be interesting to discuss.
Disclaimer: Don't think there's any 'right' or 'wrong' just something I've been curious about. Sport could be whatever sport you are involved in.
How important was doing well in your chosen sport to choosing your dog? How would you rank sporting ability vs other desired traits in your dog (size, looks, other companion qualities)
Did you choose a breed or line well known for competing in your sport?
Was it important for you to get 'the best' breed/line/whatnot for the sport or did you get a breed known to do well enough but maybe not the percieved 'best'? Or was that not a factor at all and you just chose a breed you liked regardless of sport ability?
What level of sport was/is your goal with your dog? For fun? Casual competition? Specific titles? Nationals/worlds?
Just thought it might be an interesting conversation.
