outcrossing a good male to a good female that have no relations weven though they both hunt will be more or less a crap shoot.

When line breeding a family of good to great hunting dogs their will be a higher percentage of good pups produced.

but the other half of maintaining or upgrading a line of dogs is in picking the pups that will reproduce back into the said bloodline.

It is my opinion that outcrossing is more of a crap shoot so it should be kept to a minimum.
