? about Line Breeding

Said it before, and I'll say it again...the purpose of linebreeding is to refine and add consistancy to what you start with...outcrossing is to add something else desired. Outcrossing within a breeding program is also important for health reasons.

Breeding, whether it be linebreed, inbreed, outcrossing or whatever is the easy part. Evaluating, culling and not lying to yourself about what your looking at is the hard part. If the purpose of anyone's breeding is to produce dogs everyone will like, you will most likely fail. If your goal is to produce dogs that you personally will be pleased with, there is no better way.
