Nothing wrong with great linebred heavy families of dogs there has been many great linebred families of dogs in just about every breed. The key to a families of dogs is like Burt said the test of time. But then the there is a master key to all of it. That Master key is the indivual dogs being bred threw out those years. Ive seen whole families of dogs completely ruined by breeders who are partial to percentages of this dog are that dog and going ahead and breeding that super great bred inferior dog instead of breeding to a truly great dog that did not have as much percentages of a certian family are dog as the owner are breedier decided they had to have. Anytime you breed a heavy heavy heavy family dog his gene pool is very potent beacuse of being so heavy family bred. Alot of times what happens is you will breed this super super potent heavy heavy family dog to a straight cross and think man its gonna be great these pups are going to be 50% Eli Jr because of the sire being super heavy straight bred Eli blood and the other half on the dam side is a straight cross of lets Bolio/Redboy blood. So you got your liter they grow up and the best you get out of it is a bunch of so so type of dogs good buy not great and defienely not as good as the sire are dam. The breeder cannot figure out what the hell has happened he scratches his head and his ass till they are raw and just cannot figure out why this proven cross has not worked. So what happened? Well in my experince it is this. You took a super super heavy heavy heavy bred Eli Jr dog that is carrying that blood super potent and you cross straight out to a Bolio/Redboy bred dog and the pups are suppose to be 50% Eli/25%Bolio/25%Redboy but what happens is this. The blood that, that super super tight pure bred Eli jr dogs blood is so pre-potent that it is completly over riding the cross blood. In other words the Bolio-Reboy bitches blood is not even breaking down the pre-potent Eli Jr dogs blood so really that liter of pups is still just a straight bred Eli dog lol. LOL You think am kidding we have seen it. So now. If the breeder is not experinced enuff to know this . What does he do? He number 2 cans the whole liter . A wasted breeding lol in his eyes but to a man that know this is how things really work in real life and no school books are going to teach you this. The only thing that is going to teach you this is doing it. So the experince breeder takes this liter and culls it down to the very best offspring of that liter and what does he do? He now recrosses this dog and goes back over the top of them with the same type of Bolio/Redboy cross. Now guess what? This liter comes out and now the cross has worked because now the double potent Eli Jr blood has been cut twice with the same cross as the first time and now the Bolio/Redboy has cut that pre-potent Eli Jr blood to a true 50% Eli Jr - 25% Bolio -25% Redboy true cross and the dogs in the liter are complete absolute Beast ! This is just one example of how gentics really work in the real world and not in no school boys gentic class. This is another example of real life breeding and not what some Calculator is telling you. It tooks years and years of doing this hands on seeing with our own eyes what was really happening. There was more than a few of us. I had 75 dogs, another buddy very well known had over 80 and a lots more with anywere from 20 to 40 dogs on every yard. It was a Passion of life we lived and breath these dogs. Anyway everybody has their ways of doing things and its all a part of the game. Everybody is looking for that once in a life time dog. This thing is long here but man you cannot explain these types of things in just a few sentences.
