Say you had two linebred littermate brothers. One was an exceptional dog but out of 3 litters didn't produce the same as himself and only threw average dogs for his line. Would you breed the lesser brother? And if you did and he threw above average dogs for the line which one would you continue to breed to?
Best to best is not always the best. Half of the time there is a lesser littermate that will produce much better dogs if they are linebred.
