What are the advantages of keeping a tight Frisco ped? If the sire is a good catch dog with all the traits you desire in a catchdog, then breed back to him. Other than that, there is no reason or advantage to keep a tight Frisco ped. Having a Frisco ped doesn't help the dog catch hogs. It's the traits that breed true in bulldogs . . . not pedigrees. Examples: catch and hold / gameness / no quit attitude / stable temperament w/ other dogs / wind, stamina. These traits are not unique to Frisco bred dogs. These are traits that are just common in any functional working bulldog.
It's not like your trying to preserve something unique or rare by having a tight Frisco dog. Garner has sold thousands of tight Frisco pups that's way tighter than what you have. You can probably go on his website and see 4 or 5 litters right now that's the tightest Frisco blood in the world. I know at least 10 dudes that have direct grandsons of Frisco right now. There are probably a thousand super tight up close Frisco dogs walking around right now. But there again, no advantage to that when it comes to hog hunting. Frisco dogs are known for biting hard and being powerhouse type bulldogs. But there is nothing unique or special about having Frisco bred catch dogs.
Linebreeding / Inbreeding only offers advantages when you're trying to concentrate some set of specialized traits. If you're just wanting to make some catch dogs, there is no more upside to having Frisco breeding than there is down side. It might just be that the individual dogs you are thinking about just happen to be good catchdogs that have some Frisco blood by chance. But Frisco in their pedigree doesn't necessarily make them good catch dogs, nor does it prevent them from being good catchdogs.
If George is a good catchdog and you like him, then I would go with him. But I would never breed brother sister. Inbreeding brings out the bad traits just as much as the good traits. If old George is everything you want in a catchdog, and your bitch has a lot of George's traits, then I would breed her back to George and hope you get a litter of little Georges. I don't know the ped on your dogs, but I would bet $$$ that Frisco is so far back in the ancestry that it has a very small impact on the overall genetic make-up of your pups. At the end of the day, Frisco is just another bulldog with name recognition. But if Frisco is in your dog's 4th or 5th generation, and only appears in the ped once or twice . . . you're really not breeding Frisco dogs.
Great way to look at it, good advice slim, George is everything I would expect in a well mannered pit, mainly what care about is great handle and no regrip, he's as good as it gets in my opinion,
Lolas ped analysis says she 30% frisco, which don't make a major difference to me, I'm not a ped head; I just want to keep the best of the best going in my neck of the woods, hopefully get a litter or 2 in the process and bless folks who need dependable CD's, the ped from ADBA is icing on the cake, which to me is why I'm looking for advice,,,,
So far I'm thinking I can breed to George and wait to see the turnout.
