There are probably some benefits to knowing the bloodlines.... but I dont think judging the quality of your gamefowl based on someone elses breeding and fighting results from decades ago is good practice. There is no way to know if your birds perform the same or if they are even descendants from the original breeder (unless of course you purchase from original breeder).
I dont think word of mouth is reliable, especially when there is a financial benefit to lying. We all recommend asking the seller "what is the history?", but who knows if that guy is BSing or was BSed by the previous seller.
SDM was correct when he implied .. the only way to know is by "racing" that mustang.
If I was racing, I wouldnt care if I had a Saleen. I would want something that beats a Saleen. And when I could beat it consistantly, I would name it whatever I wanted.
