Yeah steve it does & I undertand what your saying there but how many times can you outcross, lets say just for a number here oh.. in 10 years before you have added so much new blood that you really don't have the same dogs you started with. wouldn't you have to keep a string of inbred ones to breed your outcross back onto in order to keep that first set of genetics?? or at the least keep most of it
Let me further ramble by asking this, How are people getting the info like my dog is 39.75% Weatherfords Ben or what ever dog you like, I have seen dogs bred together who more followed there grandparent(s) then there sire or dam? so is that % stuff accurate or a sells pitch........................ One more thing then I'll try to shut up a while, If you started with dogs that had been outcrossed alot then to ME you can't say I have a line of dogs youjust have dog and you would have to linebreed very close or really to ME inbreed for a while to set a type or style before you can breed true with a very high % so when we start outcrossing how do we then not run the risk of blowing it all and having to regroup and start all over.. I hope I made that all clear enough to understand it?
