When we breed our dogs we are going best to best. From that all the pups will find pigs and want to stop them. Some are tougher than others and some have better bodies. I am really quite an uneducated breeder in that I know nothing much of theory, just how t get dogs that will catch me pigs. One rule we follow is that the bitch is the most important thing in the mix. We have found the body of the bitch is the governing factor for overall size and style of the majority of the pups. Also if the bitch is a top worker and the dog average, the pups will be good workers. Conversely if the bitch is average and the dog is outstanding, half the pups will be top workers and half will be average but you won't know for sure which half until the pups are about 12 months old.
Pedigress mean nothing. The person doing the breeding means everything.
Cheers.
