Nah no voodoo or scientific analogies here. Lol.
I am just a firm believer on straightforward breeding best to best to accomplish the goal of passing any hereditary gene that is desired in a certain line of dogs.
Second best dogs are just that second. They are lacking in some way shape or form and thus the reason they are not number 1 dogs on your yard. A little saying I have went by was. (always breed to something as good or better than what you have or you are regressing). The common goal is to maintain desired traits and have something worthy and capable of reproducing those traits.
The actual question to this topic that I just cannot rationalize is .....reputable breeders of line dogs that would pass up their best two dogs to cross a second best string and attempt to accomplish a higher quality dog.
I am not in any way a gene guru...Haha never even heard of a line breeding calculator or how to figure a percent of a percent of a decimal in regards to speaking of dogs breeding before getting my internet edjumacation.
But so far out of hundreds of dogs. The best of the best were always thrown from the best bred back to the best.
Its just hard to justify in my mind what I have seen work repeatedly and what did not.
That's the reason for the post is I wanted to see the breakdown on everyone's point of view to see if there was another angle that I just wasn't seeing.
As for the training issue with other folks ..totally agree....that is a main reason I dont sell pups.
And yep Rueben as you can tell I am a stickler for uniformity. Lol
Perty easy....it comes out Yeller with a blackmouth or it gets culled immediately or a few pale faces go to some close friends.
Why not have the cake and eat it too.
Good discussion boys am enjoying the angles and interpretations.
