There is no doubt that line breeding for what kind of dog you want will up your percentages of getting that dog.. You should be able to produce a higher percentage of what you think a " good " dog is.. That being said you might get a "great" dog from anywhere. If you are going to make a cross like say 1/2 cat 1/2 bulldog or 1/2 bmc/ 1/2 bulldog,  if you take a line bred cat and cross it to a linebred bulldog your percentages would be way better than breeding a scatterbred cat to a scatterbred bulldog. Or even a linebred cat to a scatterbred bulldog.. Line breeding locks in the specific traits you want in a dog and if you take 2 dogs that have been linebred for those traits then your chances of getting the dogs that you want out of the cross go way up.. I have some on the ground right now that are 7 weeks old. I'll let yall know if it "worked" in about 8 months..
