Boarninja to answer your ? from a few posts back I guess honestly put I dont care what the forums opinion is because I am getting pups from him regardless, however I am curious to know the opinions of everyone and find this to be an intersting post.
I simply dont believe you can breed great dog to great dog and reproduce good dogs on avg. I have seen it fail over and over. Talking about most pups in the litter not the exception's, and who wants to feed an entire litter for 9-12mo to save a 1 or a few. However Bob Cox's line bred curs throw consistant hard hunting go yander dogs with great bottom etc. Even though the papers are inbred something is working.
Seen failure over and over? Sounds like they were using my breeding program from 15- 20 years ago! lol.
Line breeding/inbreeding definitely works but only a small handful I know of has got or had a good handle on it. I also agree that done wrong or handled recklessly it can and will produce junk.
I seen it in my younger days by others and thats why it took me so long to change my way of thinking about it.
Heck! Im still trying to get a handle on it myself and thats why I am so interested in these threads. Maybe I never really will but, If I had a man like Mr. Cox to take notes from, I would be miles ahead! Men like that are way more valuable to you than a good dog thats for sure. They can teach you how to make a bunch of good dogs!
