I believe that inbreeding once at the beginning with scatter bred dogs to tighten up the genetic pool is the way to go...but the dogs have to be very good dogs and choosing the right pups from that cross most important...inbreeding is not necessary if we are lucky enough to already have dogs that are linebred and hunting well...next step is to turn over fairly quick to get where we want to be with the genetics and to also have a higher percentage of good pups from each litter...once that goal is met then we keep them longer and just breed to replace pups otherwise one will reach that stale/tired blood and then it will be time to add an out cross but only a fraction should be brought in into the line otherwise it won't be our line any more...the most important part of any breeding program is breeding the very best...the cream rises to the top...

Training dogs is not about quantity, it's more about timing, the right situations, and proper guidance...After that it's up to the dog...
