Whatcha mean by plug Will?
I'd call a dog a plug if it was lacking any sort of drive. I'm suprised he's not running him. If he doesn't then I suppose it says it all really.
Perhaps Theo was a consolation prize after Kurt flopped with the health testing.
I suppose Theo will be used regardless and probably throw some decent pups from a good bitch.
For the record neither Kurt nor Theo has been health tested - a pity but no more than that - they just join the majority put to stud.
Their worth will be proved by their progeny - some of them are health tested.

I believe WGD is meaning Ian wouldn't bother running him if he didn't think he was very good, and as Ian is running him and has qualified him this years champs again he must think he is worth running and not a plug

Thanks for all the replies so far however i could do with a bit more information regarding the character, hunting traits etc of the dog if anyone has any info. Maybe i should have mentioned in the op that i was thinking of using him as a stud

Best speak to the man handling him then, anything else is conjecture.
