It has been told to me by the old fellas I've hung around the 4 way crosses are your match dogs, while your inbred or linebred dogs are your game dogs.

What are some of your thoughts?

Well, as far as "match dogs" go ... they are ALL match dogs

And, before the losses, 2 of those Grand Champions (and one DOY) were both highly inbred dogs ...

And, of those 8 dogs, there are 7 distinct individuals (as April won twice) ... and of those 7 individuals only 2 are scatter-bred, 2 are linebred, and 3 are inbred.

So, as far as I can see, linebreeing and inbreeding produced 5 out of 7 of those top-top-notch animals ... and all 4 of the gamest entries.

Of course, Titere is the king of the hill ... but can you really depend on scatter-breeding ... or was Titere the proverbial "Hail Mary" result?

Interesting questions ...
