I do think inbred low abilty dog have a place in a breeding program and thats for gameness! If they have proven to be that! Also to add more of the said blood!
Now hears the thing if im looking for more of a Head,chest,throat style then does these low abilty/no style dog still have a place in ones breeding program? Besides being game and having the same name in a ped 20x's were would they fit in abreeding program thats based on style/gameness?
It's not "having" the gameness, per se, that makes inbred brood dogs valuable ... because many authentically-game dogs simply can't throw their own gameness into their pups ...Originally Posted by ragedog10
Rather, it is these dogs being inbred on great dogs, known to THROW--gameness (ability, etc.) that makes them valuable.
If a dog is inbred on a low-percentage producer, that can't throw anything, then his "being inbred" means nothing worthwhile.
However, if the dog is inbred on a HIGH percentage-producer, and himself is game dog and comes from a high-percentage litter, then that dog is actually worth MORE than 98% of most match dogs in the brood pen
If that's what you're selecting for, yes.
My breeding program has always been based on gameness and a head style ... and that is pretty much what my line has come to be known for ...

EDIT: You can pretty much get anything you repeatedly and consistently select for
from the years I have been in the dogs there is one thing that drives me in breedings I make and that is consistency
the only way to get consistency for high ability is to breed only to those animals
if you constantly weed out those that are not able to win shows , the percentages get higher
There will always be exceptions to the rules and people tend to look at those exceptions to justify their particular breeding
but every working breed as far as I know uses the same rule
Exceptions to the rules? I would say THE RULE is that highly-linbred dogs are the true producers in the sport, not the opposite.
Just curious, if you only utilize world-beating match dogs, why wasn't Moya's father matched?
How do you explain the success Floyd Boudreaux's HIGHLY INBRED foundation dog, Blind Billy, not being a world beater?
Do you know more than Floyd? Can you think of a more successful line than his?
What about the highly-linebred Little Gator?
Have you built up a bigger legacy of wins than the owner of this COLD DOG?
How would you explain the success of Stone City's COLD, INBRED Awesome Baby, as being behind SO MANY Champions, ROMs, etc.
Historian, if you're going to live up to your name, you need to recognize that "inbred bums producing" is NOT "the exception"
