I think factoring in what the active dog man is breeding is a must. If he is active within the same family of dogs, breeding for the traits he desires from within that close/somewhat close family then that is a pretty good option. On the other hand if he is a dog man solely concerned with winning on show night, has really good dogs from multiple families, and then breeds best to best the percentages will be lower. Maybe to break it down further than the two choices, for the active man I would prefer he was successful with one family, if that makes sense.
