Austesus, in my opinion you are already in a corner. One your family isn’t tight bred yet. They are consistent in type and performance style which is a plus. So if you breed to your scatter bred male, you are only slightly tighter bred on one side. He may be a leggy dog, but is he the norm of what he comes from or the exception. If he’s the exception you don’t what you’re going to get and even if his type is the norm, is his style? Was one parent catchy and the other just the opposite? In my experience, puppies have a real strong tendency to revert back to grandparents. If your pups grandparents are all unrelated then the only way you can hope to know which style and type they are going to be is to have bred like dogs to like dogs. By that I mean at least 2 or 3 of the 4 grandparents were very similar. When genes are scattered you may have 4 pups in a litter and could possibly end up with 4 different types and styles. Likely you won’t know which ones are which until they are bigger which means you have to gamble on which ones to keep or keep them on your feed bill longer. Another option is breeding your females to outside stud via AI. You can get chilled semen from a couple different studs off someone that has a family of dogs you like and you could be on your way again. Just a thought. This is only my way of thinking. There are guys on here have forgotten more about breeding than I know.
