I think that's true of all dogs Wirehair... work and experience count for a lot...
but it comes under the category of "all things being equal".
My dogs work every single day too... I'm lucky, I'm rural, just walking my dogs they are working.
I am very lucky I have a very well respected dog here that is now in his twilight but I think I have seen several dogs from the same kennel with the potential to be as good as him, even though many consider him to be the cream of the crop, but at his peak he was picking up on driven pheasant shoots at least three days a week and walks consist of him, me and a shotgun busting bunnies... regardless of what genes are running through his veins, he KNOWS more than all those other dogs... He's had thousands of birds and bunnies, a few hundred ducks and has hunted all over the country in different terrains.... it has to help.
BUT If you took a X and one breed like him and gave the same exposure... I know which one would come out on top.
