FACT: If its not linebred, be it a mut or purebred, you wont get consistant results from litter to litter with the exception of most CD breeds. Ive seen as many 1/2 hounds sit at your feet as I have pure curs etc. Line bred dogs are the only way to do it intellegently and consistantly. Otherwise one bad night in the woods and your back on "bay dog" getting riped off until you get lucky
Yes Sir ! I bred dogs for a long long time and I have found that Linebreeding with some inbreeding for speical purposes and then breeding to the correct outcross for Hybird Vigor to produce Hi Performace dogs is by for the best and most consistent way to producing good precentages of Hi Quality working dogs all threw the breeding process from the first linebreeding to the inbreeding and then to the outcross and back to the family. I have seen many many people bred best to best and produce great dogs also but they have to wade threw a lot of not so good dogs to get the great ones most the time there is no inbetween gold are chit , Two things that is born with a dog man that is brought out threw hands on experence and time and It cannot be taught , that is a eye for a dog and a gut feeling for a breeding. You got either one of them and you are well on your way.
this is half of it...the other half is picking the right pups...just as important as the breeding...
like arrow is saying... dog handling can make a great dog greater or the same dog can ruined in the wrong hands...
