The costs and benefits of inbreeding.

[Officially Retired]

so if im understanding your logic correctly, this would be a good example of outcrossing within the family.....

two seperate families...earl jr/frisco cross... both inbred on chinaman.

Yes, exactly right.

It takes a large yard to be able to do this, to have sub-families within a main family, but that is in essence what all great breeders do, pretty much.

I myself really stick to this style of breeding. I've been doing it with out a big yard but luckily having small litters and taking it one breeding at a time. Its a slow process but my dogs stay consistent and are holding the traits gen to gen and picking up the ones I add with each breeding. If all goes well I will be blending the best offspring from 2 sisters together next. One male is a backcross pulling the main old blood and traits up front that I needed with one sister. The other sister was bred to male heavier linebred on another individual in the family. Hopefully those to males I introduced traits stick when its all together. I also have a heavy inbred male that is a nephew to the old male I back crossed with to pull genes and traits forward off his brother and sister. We shall see how this family forms if all goes well.
