If dog1 and dog2 are similar in looks and hunt I would start as you did. but I would not use either male again if possible. I would use a son of dog1 and a grandson from dog 2 as the main stud dogs for a while on the 1/2 sisters and nieces etc. etc. I would move the females a few generations to improve the line asap and then hold on to them longer once you are getting a high percentage of good pups. at this point you just need to breed to replace a dog or 2 every now and then.
