I would do the opposite: breed a Poncho/Kitana bitch to a Silverback stud.
For one thing, most Silverback bitches are small, and when breeding two different-sized animals together it is smarter to make the
male the smaller dog and the female the large
(As when I bred the 34 lb Ch Hammer to the 50 lb Miss Trinx).
It's easier on a larger bitch to produce the pup.
For another, you don't necessarily "get the the same thing" reversing who's the male and who's the female.
The Silverback dogs will actually elevate the athleticism/speed of the Poncho/Kitana dogs ... they are faster, have better balance, and way better reflexes.
BOTH lines were intelligent, but the Silverback dogs are also the ones with finish, by comparison.
(I've never seen a Poncho/Kitana dog with finish that was even close to what Silverback had.)
However, what the Kitana blood
will bring is
rugged bone density and (
yes) power.
The best Poncho/Kitana dogs had a tank-like density to them, a physical power, and some had truly bone-breaking mouth.
So, if you work your mix right, I agree you should get it all
