I've always been a bit curious about this...
If memory serves me correctly, is there one of the registries that will not accept registrations for dogs that have been linebred?
With that in mind, how do you ever "start" a breed of dog and get to the point of them breeding true to type without linebreeding / inbreeding them? In my mind, it's virtually impossible.
The Tlgda does not allow it, one of many reasons the NLDA was formed. The Nlda allows for line breeding. Hints the association I'm in I ll be line breeding when I cross some of the dogs in my yard and my partners. Now IMO you can in a consistency with the Nlda dogs most look very similar in size weight etc etc. now when you go to other groups I ve seen lacys with ears of coon hounds i ve seen 65lbs dogs that look nothing like mine. So just depends who ya talk to and by their opinion is on the dog. There is definitely some trash out there no doubt about it. The popularity of the "state dog" has hurt the breed. IMO
