[halfbreed]

  well I will tell you about sire and dame in chicken talk  lol   if you breed a green legged rooster to a yellow leg hen . the young rooster or [ stags ] will all have yellow legs and the pullets will all be green legged . so transfered into dogs the gyp pups would have more traits from the sire and the male pups will have more of the dames genes . and I have noticed this with the breedings in dogs I have made on the yard .  so yes the sire and dame play equally in the breedings  . so with the bird dogs x bull dog cross in your example the male was a bird dog   , so the gyp pups would be more prone to taking the bull dog side and the males more the bird dog attributes .
