Well honestly like you said without seeing them it's hard to tell what the dogs are but I will take your honesty and try to apply. I do have 1 question which is typically important to me whenever I go to do a breeding or decide a dog is worth breeding, how are the litters as a whole? I noticed you had a brother to lexi and a sister to Lil Jade. Are they the only ones off the breeding or just the ones you can get information on?

I know many folks start with just dogs who might be average across the board or have some great qualities here or there but if they satisfy you then nothing else matters. Now if you're looking for high % you mean high gameness % or high winning %? There is only 1 way to obtain winning % and that is to get them out there into hands (or yourself of course) to see how they fare against the rest of the world.

If the % of the rest of the litter isn't that good, then I would just hope they are honest hounds and try something in the family that is producing high % dogs with the qualities you admire. I was told by a man that most litters go back to the average of the line, so why not make the average of the line, above average which is certainly obtainable with good schooling, good culling and honest work.

Now are you looking to breed to retool your own army and see what they are producing or are you looking for something specific? You trying to add some mouth, some strength or a specific style? Are you trying to make a family around the peds you posted or is there a linebreeding program around them? You looking to stay within the dogs in your ped or you want total outcross?
