Starting a family off of a scatter bred or outcross dog

[CrazyRed]

What about Jeep and Yellow...Those 2 did rather well.

I was about to say the same thing. You most certainly have to drop anchor there and see where that takes you. Yellow being a good 50/50 was worth because you had 2 familes to test breedings with.. Depending on how you view Jeep ped, it wasn't really scatter. Ped that shows, his top side is pretty much a colby dog.. Some believe Bo was actually inbred Cotton's Bullet.. But if you look at the bottom side it's not scatter either if you believe it. Bullyson inbred Blind Billy dog, Dibo.. bred to Amber Double grandaughter of Black Widow.. Some believe Amber to be a double bred daughter of Cracker or believe that Honeybunch is truly off Ch Cracker which would make sense.. But while Jeep isn't inbred based on the posted ped his parents are heavy linebred dogs.

I was going to say that as well

Typically, for a dog to come from a high-percentage litter, and to be prepotent, at least 1 of the parents has to be an inbred/linebred animal.

Doesn't hurt if you keep breeding the offspring back to one side (or the other) of the pedigree either, as is what was perpetually done with both dogs.
