Again, this isn't a black or white topic. You just got to really use your head and make the best decision. You did state above that there are too many variables didn't you? So it really depends on which variables you're taking into consideration when deciding to make a breeding.
I'm not confused. If there is any confusion it's because you gave an answer but then followed up with sonething that didn't support it. actually, the question is pretty black and white. Does performance carry over to how the dog will reproduce was the question and the answer is no. What's behind them plays a roll, everyone knows that. The whole idea of a brood bitch and that being her purpose tells you that performance and production are totally seperate subjects. You knowing her lineage and basically saying IDGAF to know how she is as a performer because I think she will produce anyways answers the OP's question.
