Yeah, reckless. Of course. I also think, even though we always look at Malinos and me being a breeder, of course, I have my little bias, but we always say, well, they are more athletic, they are more... They are endurance, but I think... In IGP, in ring sports it's different, but in IGP...

Yeah. It's a mistake, a lot of big, it's another mistake of, you know, when an experienced helper start to work with a Mali Noah, four, five month old Mali, and that Mali just seems like it's so awake and confident, but they are not. They're just a Mali. They need time. Right, right. And by that time,

if you don't have the experience and you keep pushing and next thing you know the puppy is like well i don't know about that and and it happens i think often with malinois where they are very promising.
