On Breeding Better Dogs

Sanman, that's the thing about great bred family dogs bred like you say for years and years. When bred like that and bred true without any penmanship being done in how they are bred along the way. Those types of family dogs presents and traits will be felt for gens and gens. I know of bulldogs that where born back in the 60's that where bred true to form up till this day and let me tell you there is Damn near clones being born till this day of the dogs they bred back then. Color, build, ability and everything else they ain't lost a Damn thing! But let me tell you along the way there where SELECTED CROSSES bred only when needed and then straight back to the family they went. Regardless what's on paper when you get faimlys that are worth their salt for 50 years and still producing like day one and all the Vigor is still there you can bet your sweet behind they didn't just get that way from never making a cross some where along the was.....Hell even a dumb Ass Scientist genealogist will tell us this. Lol
