The reason why no-talent dogs can produce great dogs with talent, is the no-talent dog was linebred on a great dog.

A no-talent dog, that is not linebred, and has no dogs with talent in his pedigree, simply canNOT produce talent.

Talent can't come from "nowhere" ... it has to come from somewhere.


However, some no-talent dogs (even if they are linebred on a talented dog) have simply lost their ability to produce talent.

Again, it's like a red/rednose.

Some buckskin dogs have a rednose gene in them. You can breed two such buckskin dogs (Aa) and produce a rednose (aa) dog with them.
In the same way, you can breed two no-talent plugs, with a common badass ancestor, and produce a badass dog with them.

But you can't keep doing that forever.

The reason is, some of the buckskin dogs will be pure AA buckskins and have LOST the rednose gene.
Similarly, some no-talent dogs off of talented dogs, have simply LOST gameness and ability somewhere.

Therefore, if you keep breeding no-talent pieces of shit together, even if they're linebred on a highly-talented dog, you will LOSE gameness and ability if you're not specifically looking at your dogs and SELECTING FOR gameness and talent.

You can't just keep breeding no-talent dogs together and KEEP gameness and talent; you have to keep breeding to the dogs that exhibit gameness and talent.
You have to breed for performance.

Sure, you can sometimes "get by" by breeding no-talent, inbred plugs ... that have some super-duper dog back there ... but you don't want to make a perpetual habit of this.

Like anything, a little common horse sense goes a long way ...
