Kyle Omstott says in his book there is NEVER a need to outcross and the biggest mistake made is by breeders hitting a bad cross and thinking they need an outcross and reversing 20 years of breeding.  This is based on a line that suits the breeder in every way.  He goes on to say out crosses are crucial in picking up needed traits but should be made with well established lines that exude the needed trait and by no means with a scatter bred super dog that has the trait and loads of unknown traits to go along with him.
