Hi;

Again, the good or bad regarding the "tightness" of any breeding hinges entirely upon whether 1) it was tightened up on the right dog and 2) whether the genes stacked as hoped in the pup you selected.

I can't possibly tell you whether I personally would have tightened up on that dog myself (or even bred to him at all) ... without seeing the animal itself ... and I can't possibly tell you whether the genes of the breeding based on him stacked well or not in the dog you're asking about ... again without seeing that animal itself.

I know this is not the standard "Looks good!" answer that most people give; however it is the most honest, accurate response that is possible for a man to make who knows absolutely nothing about the dogs being discussed.

As I have mentioned in many other posts on this forum, everyone who thinks you can breed dogs "too tight" has merely tightened up on the wrong dog(s).

When the inbreeding selection process is done correctly, tightening-up improves the line
