I'm more interested in a particular cross done with him that I want to inbreed on. None of the dogs of this litter are outstanding. They're still young. But to me I see something in them that makes me wanna go forward with my plan. While our stud was alive we did an inbreeding to his daughter who's dam had a Bolio out. It worked... We have one gyp left of that litter and the cross I speak of brings Bolio thru mayday. My reasoning is double "Cash" on Bolio works. So I wanna double everything and see what happens.
Here's the one that worked..

All opinions are welcome. I wanna hear the why's and why nots
It's unfortunate that some people still shy away from inbreeding on great animals. It's like they've been brainwashed to believe "inbred dogs can't win." I don't know who invented this nonsense idea, but inbreeding on the right dogs is a person's quickest and surest route to consistent success ... while randomly "mixing unrelated dogs together" is a person's assurance of a lifetime of hit-and-miss breeding efforts. If you're skeptical about inbreeding, I encourage you to read the articles on inbreeding that I have stickied up on top of this Sub-Forum.

The thing to keep in mind is that ALL truly great breeders, who stood the test of time, were family breeders. All of them. And regarding the match ability of inbred dogs, as I put on another thread, here is a quick list of some of history's baddest and most famous pit dogs that were either inbred or highly linebred, that were as good (or better!) than any of the "outcrossed" dogs that have ever lived:


Sure, there have been plenty of great outcross dogs, there's no doubt ... but there are no outcross dogs that have been any greater (or even as great!) as history's greatest inbred/linebred dogs.

Therefore, if you're really confident in what you have, and it really is what you're wanting "more of," then I say line- and inbreed on it with confidence, because that is the only way you will preserve it, harness it, cultivate it, and be able to perpetuate it indefinitely. I know, because I have done this with my own dogs for going on my 3rd decade ... and they're still exactly how I like them ... and they're still winning

Good luck to you!
