Right.

After selecting those family members that possessed those traits (if any), I would then make strategic breedings to carry forward with and reproduce them.

After a couple years waiting for the resulting pups to grow up & get schooled, I would then select those offspring that possessed these key traits I was after ... and then start the next steps with my breeding program, using the 7 basic breeding patterns (and plugging-in the right dogs) to carry this torch.
