ok lets say u have a male dog that is an all around jam up stup i mean one that does it all, run a track, wind and a great handle lots of bottom, but u have no idea where this dog came from or even what all he is crossed with. Would you breed this dog to a female out of a proven line or would you just call it good luck.
 
I guess what im asking is do you think this dogs offspring will carry his traits or this dog is just a lucky one.

 Id say that you wont know until you breed him. But I wouldn't choose a female just by her bloodline. I would choose one who is exactly the same caliber of dog that he is and hunts the way you like, and one who is hopefully linebred. Then when the pups get here, raise them up and see if they take any of his traits.

Go for it.
I got one now that i have no idea what he is out of. All I know he is a curdog. He throws me some pretty good pups that I am happy with.

BINGO, breed best available to best available and go from there!

I agree...you have to start somewhere...breed up to a higher standard...

If you are hunting with a dog that good, you would later regret not raising at least one litter. As suggested, I would find a gyp that is very good and similar to him but with known breeding (hopefully linebred) and give it a try. The reason for using an inbred/linebred gyp would be to reduce genetic variation in the pups and get a better test of your dog.
