My thoughts are linebreeding and inbreeding bring you more consistent results ... and while random crosses can bring you some phenomenal dogs ... I wonder how many don't make it by comparison.

The other phenom bitch, Ch Nereyda is 36% inbred at 13 gen.

The other double-DOY Gr Ch Vengeance was 39% inbred at 13 generations (while the Gr Ch who lost to him, Hobo, was totally scatter-bred%).

Another Grand Champion/Grand Champion-defeating dog was Gr Ch Buck who also was 39% inbred also at 13 generations (while the Gr Ch who lost to him, Sandman, was only 14%).

Double Gr Ch Tornado was 35% inbred at 13 generations, etc.

Tietere is Titere ... but I think this year's crop shows that only 2 out of 8 places came by way of scatterbreeding, 2 by linebreeding, and the rest by inbreeding ...

It is a great topic to be sure ...
