Point taken Duce but with the variations he has to work with he could go on for 20 years before he gets stale and still keep what he like imo.
But I do get you what you are saying but he is starting with a bigger gene pool and much more diversity vs game bred apbt breeding programs.
cool...i don't really know the gene pool mike is dealing with so you are right if he has a large gene pool then he may not need any unrelated dogs for sometime.
it seems you are well started in what you are trying to achieve, mike, so keep it going and keep us posted. i've hunted with ray's dog joe..that's a BIG pretty dog there..
