Austesus, wether these pups work out or not, if I were you, I’d be looking that out cross that was going to help get me where I need to be any way. Your starting point with these dogs is obviously not the most favorable and has little to no room for error. You might actually accomplish and get where you’re wanting to be quicker and easier than waiting. You gotta remember that very limited number of brood stock is already working against you. Not only that but the uncertainty of how the offspring are going to turn out. And if that isn’t enough Father Time is against you. If you can find the right family of dogs to cross to, not an individual dog, it increases your odds of success in my opinion. Then no matter what you are fortunate enough to raise out of this litter you already have your next breeding lined up. Those pups would be half your line. Breeding the F1 back to your family increases it to 3/4 and so on.  The other thing is you should definitely get ash collected so that when he’s gone or no
longer able to reproduce, you have it available. I speak from experience when I tell you that you will be glad you did it. Mine isn’t ancient but she isn’t gonna be around forever and as you well know, freak accidents happen. Get what you can out of her. That in itself sounds like it may be a challenge judging by this litter. If so you are down one more resource and need to have cash available even worse. This is all my opinion of course but I’ve been exactly where you are. I’m there now with my bulldogs. I’ll never have the pure old family again but I can at least have that blood in the dogs I’m rebuilding.
