this thread got my mind to going so I started to research my bulldogs breeding or his pedigree and found out that this line of dogs that are bred by mike morgan out of florida , by looking at the pedigrees these dogs were line bred very close in my book and I know nothing about this but very interested to learn more about this subject , now not to start a fight but for the sake of me learning more about the term watered down in breding terms please explain , I would come more to say they were inbred and maybee needed a little water LMAO [ OLD FAMILY REDS] but on a seriuos note please explain
I can give this example of watered down...Warlock was a famous doberman in the 1950's...people claimed warlock bloodlines through the 1980's, 1990's, and even today...but I just wonder how much of warlock is in those dogs...that to me is watered down or... diluted to almost no relations...
now if warlock showed up to a high percentage and all dogs used from breeding resembled warlock then I would tend to believe that these dogs carried his traits...but warlock was a runt in his litter and he grew to the smaller size of the standard but his other good qualities were so above average that he became one of the best known dobermans...but then we have warlock dobermans in the 1990's that are 30 inches at the shoulders and warlock himself was probably 25 at the shoulder...
