I agree, Ewo, if you're just matching dogs then all a dog has to be is a badass dog to do that.

However, the question was preferences in breeding, and many "inbred plugs" may be plugs, but they are inbred on badass dogs ... and so have a very real chance of producing them ... even more so than another badass dog.

So a person would have to know the story behind both dogs to make a decision. How a dog is bred matters to anyone who knows what he's doing.

Another example: I would rather breed to a game plug inbred on Gr Ch Art, using Art over a game daughter of his, than I would breed to Art's scatter-bred ace descendent Gr Ch Joey, who came from a litterful of curs.

Etc., etc.
