Only thing I would suggest having with ur tight bred dogs is to get another tightly bred dog that comes from producers that is unrelated. Then take those oils back to ur tight bred inbred dogs. That way u always have a touch of hybrid vigor. That unrelatd dog is what people forget the most. Those hybrid dogs will ALWAYS pop and be grat products for u

Mike,from what we talked about you may never actually need it with the variations and options you have already IMO.

I wouldn't go with a total outcross...I would use a dog with at least 50% relations as the one to bring hybrid vigor...otherwise you stand to lose some of what you have gained...but the other half of breeding good to great line bred dogs is making sure the best specimens are identified and used for breeding...

Training dogs is not about quantity, it's more about timing, the right situations, and proper guidance...After that it's up to the dog...
