The book "Art of Breeding better dogs" says once an outcross is made it should be made to a tight family of dogs exhibiting the needed traits. That offspring needs to go back to the original line you are trying to influence and it's that cross (2 generation) that one can see truly how the outcross effected the line. I'm no breeder but I am smart enough to see going 3-5 different directions at one time will likely find you with VERY inconsistent results for several generations. And further more, I would be ashamed if I started talking "breeding better dogs" and told how I bred to that many "hear-say" dogs and very few I had actually proved myself. As far as the trading culls around because they may suit others goes, that's about all I needed to hear to stop taking Ol' Reuben seriously. Good luck guys
