well it all depends on how much breeding stock of that old male is availble ?....... definately if you want more like him breed the ones that look more like him and pick the better ones to breed back to each other ....you gonna have good and bad in any breedings til you get lined out in agood really inbreeding program .... had afriend of mine had an old dog that was a good dog he thoughtthe world of but he was of mixed up blood ....litters would look like a box of chocolates ...last time he bred him he had one pup looked just like the old dog ....he kept him and one female well she turned on perty good but didn't look nothing like his old dog .. the male pup that looke dlike the old male wasn't makeing it .... i told him keep the pup breed him to something of the bloodline if you can find one ..get you a few pups that look like your old dog and kill the male since he ain't much .... breed the good ones that look like the old dog and you will eventually get back to the old dog and probably breed more likeness of him than he did since he wasn't line or inbred..... well he didn't and now he can't get one that looks like his old dog . .he lost it ... looks is the first sign of likeness in any animal or human to show what the lenage is ....
10 4. I have access to the same bloodline just not direct descendants other than the male pup I am referring to. This line is all pretty tightly bred going back to each other one way or another for quite a few generationgs back. I am hoping that he makes it long enough to for the pup out of his litter last year to hit her second heat to breed him back to her and if all goes well then to breed the best pup out of that litter to the best pup out of the litter I am trying to produce now. this would be a full brother to sister breeding just out of 2 seperate litters. I also have a hellacious little gyp that is out of bonnie's brother and another solid gyp ( bonnie is the gyp that I bred to last year and am trying to breed him to again right now) so I will have a cross available as far as preserving the momma's side.......
If you can't tell I'm not to experienced in line breeding, I have always just tried to breed best available to best available but I am trying to start breeding a bit tighter to produce more consistant litters and better dogs overall. Thanks for your help.
