On Breeding Better Dogs

Since each parent contributes 50% of the genes to the offspring, equal value should be placed on both since they both contribute equal amounts. Seems like really good males are more common than really good females though, so a harder search for a good female might take place lol. I don't believe you necessarily need to breed to a super star to get a really good litter. A sister might produce better pups do to the science behind passing on hereditary traits. One dog might posses the traits as Dominate recessive while the sister might be Dominate Dominate for example. There is a lot more science behind it but you get the point. The point of line breeding to me is to try to make the traits you desire in a dog either Dominate Dominate or recessive recessive. Get two dogs of the same family that line these genes up in the same manner as the other dog and you will have a higher percentage of pups that have the traits their mother and daddy did. How these genes are expressed and clearly read and so on and so on is where it really starts getting complicated. I'm no geneticist nor am I a breeder, nor have I spoken to an old man. Just how it makes sense to me and how I naturally see it.
I think most everyone of you have made very good points that can stand firm on their own. Being that I'm no geneticist, If I was a breeder, i would rely heavily on the SWAG theory for most of my breeding lol. I think that's all most of it really is anyway unless your into cloning. When i say using the SWAG theory I don't mean just blindly going about breeding hoping for the best but using your best judgment, knowledge, and gut feeling all at the same time.
