Simply put...i would rather breed to an average dog from a long line of above average line bred dogs  than to an above average dog from a long line of average open bred dogs. But only do it as a necessity  and not make a habit of it because this will eventually lower the quality of the dogs if  it becomes a common practice.

To me, when breeding strike dogs, all the dogs used for breeding should be dogs that can do it alone. This way I would  know that all the bases were covered. I say this because I don't understand all i need to know about breeding better dogs, therefore, the logical thing to do is to breed the best to the best from a good line of dogs. Sometimes the best defense is a good offense.
