I don't believe that science will ever catch up to nature when it comes to K-9 breeding, and that to me says we way over complicate the process and that in itself is a hindrance. It also helps prove that culling and selection are the most important tools in a program as that is what nature does.
Size and color are the easiest traits to manipulate, it is the performance traits that are tough so some people just start with something that they feel is well balanced in all aspects and go from there. Generally dogs will be the average of what is in their pedigree for several generations, providing there isn't too many variations-if there are then you will see them vary according to the gene pool which leads us back to culling and selection. I predict that there will never be a "formula" scientific or other wise that is guaranteed successful.
