good thread ....... you know if we had all the answers to breeding top dogs they wouldn't be worth 30 cents a piece ......
i do believe your better success comes the from trying to clone and exceptional dog through line breeding not the line but that dogs offspring .....
i don't believe you can breed all top dogs and all top or 99% of top dogs come from lesser parents so breeding the best to the very best doesn't mean your more likely to get that exceptional dog especailly in unrelated blooded dogs ..... just breeding a line of dogs may get you more of the same but breeding close related offspring of an exceptional dog of that line may just push it to something better .......
with my rambling read my first line again ,,,,,
