So far the recipe is still good... this litter should tell the tale.
Reuben, there’s several 25-50% related dogs out there that I can cross back to. That would be my plan when I do... I don’t think I’ll ever make a 100% outcross.
That is a good way...when the dogs look right and hunt right you need to do all you can to keep it that way and improve on it when you can...improving does not mean going outside the line...it means picking the best from within the line of dogs to hunt and breed...the proof is in all the pigs you are catching...
Outcrossing can be for improvement in any area...but in your case it is more to rejuvenate the vigor before it drops off...at least that is what it seems to me...
