I have to agree with Boarninja,

When producing working dogs one should strive to produce better dogs each successive generation. Crossing dogs is pretty much like starting over. You'll have no idea what you will get in successive generations, less predictablity. Thats why understanding genetics is important. Linebreeding increases predictability and gives one a better chance of selecting the right dogs to move forward with.   There is a bigger picture than just how breeds were created in the past.
