I owned and bred Bulldogs for many years and know a lot of the greatest breeders of their time. A lot and lots of great and fine people.  Threw my years I produced many, many of great dogs.  Gr Ch Brueax, Gr Ch Hannah, Ch Katrina, Ch Bandit, Halls Ch Sugar and many more.  I owned N. Toby bought him from Clemmons owned Ch Sister who was given to me by a great great friend after Ch Sister won over Irish Jerry with Irish Jerry saying afterward Ch Sister was the best he had ever seen. I got friends that were at the Jimmy Boots vs Benny Bob outing. Know the man personally that bred Bullyson, Eli Jr and Brendy lived right down the road from him and know many many people that owned dogs off of these great old dogs.  Some mighty famous dog men and breeders.  I know longer own a bulldogs no more those years are gone.  I dabbled in the hog dogs for a pretty good many years and had what I consider as good as any of course thats my side of the story.  But I can tell you this about breeding.  It is very very easy to get caught up into all of the inbreeding, heavy heavy line breeding and just the whole got to have the tightest family of this are that thing.  I know I done it myself! Now as the years have past me and bunch of my old bulldog buddys got together and were talking about the mistakes we made and the things we done wrong and yes the things we done right.  When we looked back on the very best performace dogs that we produced threw all those years.  The very best dogs most all were big time crosses are back crosses.  They were not tight tighly bred dogs they were a true blend so do speak and only the best of their kinds got bred. We found that most of the greatest performace dogs where when the best to the best dogs where bred togther and the hell with the pedigree. It is best to let the dog make the pedigree and not the pedigree make the dog.  Sometimes we can get so caught up in what we want as humans that we try to over rule mother nature and that is a mistake.  Yeah I said that.  Any breeder worth his salt has done this and if he dont admit to it then he has not bred as many great dogs as he might think he has.  This all comes from first hand experince hands on the job and not only mine but many, many great dog men of performace dogs.  Sure there are some crosses that work and work well when you hit this cross breed the hell out of it your chances of letting mother nature make you a great dog is better than you trying to make it yourself.  When it comes to inbreeding and heavy heave linebreeding you damn well better know when to stop, when to cross because if you do not.  You can number 2 can a a whole line of dogs in a hurry.  Anyway this is just some of my experince and a lot of great dog mens experinces in the breeding game.  Dont worry about a caculater worry about what your own eyes are telling you and the dog in front of you.  Its took many years and many mistakes and tons of heartaches not to mention money time blood sweat,tears, divorces and retirement to finally put all the peices together of what I did right and wrong as well as all my old buddys. Have a good day.
