A dog has 78 chromosomes or 39 pair. They get half of their chromosomes from the mother and the other half from the sire. If you have two outstanding dogs then you have a better chance at getting some good pups. However...its nice to know what yourbreeding to because its known that there are millions combinations you can end up with. You'd have to find out which combination your best dog has....and find out what to breed in or out of your program. To much for me to understand so I'll just pray I get lucky!!

if they are tight line bred and the good ones are consider traits good and bad that may have shown up in littermates , if you seee them on some pups know they are there and just cull extremely hard and never bredd 2 dogs that you know posses the same bad traits in there background , just my view.

very good thread. One of the most important things you can do is pair up your dogs. Like genes to Like genes. Once you get that and you raise a litter and you can see what you got you can line breed. If you got a stud dog that has a loud bawl locate then pair it up to a bitch with a loud bawl or a loud chop. Put cold nose to cold nose, large frame to large frame and above all for me the most important brains to brains. The more you pair your two dogs up, the better chance for you to raise what you wanna hunt. I took my male dog that was a half brother to my female. Both have the same mother, just different fathers. Both are a lot a like. Both loud bawls and chop bawls. Both built the same. Both really cold noses. Both have a tun of heart and grit. And both are really smart and have a great personality. The only difference was this. Male dog is a harder tree dog. Female was a faster track dog. We'll see what I'll get in February.....
Once you get started you can always tweak it a little. More bottom, more muscle, more nose or what ever you want. Just be sure to bring in something that pairs up in the other categories. What a lot of folks will do is keep a the best from the first litter. breed the pair again and keep the best from that litter. the start breeding the two litters together. male from one litter to female from the other litter. it's a brother sister cross just not a litter mate brother sister cross. You'll need to outcross at some point. It's up to you but I would bring in something that was a litter mate to the original sire or dam that you first crossed and put it into the line. Just make sure that whatever you bring in has those LIKE characteristics that you like.
good luck with your breeding program
