sister vs. sister/brother vs.brother

[CYJ]

Ditto, I believe deep gameness is a first priority. Still you have to have a proper put together dog for it to be able to take a proper conditioning keep. To perform at it's best in a get down show and go event. Get my drift. LOL

One of the best books you will ever read on how to properly breed any certain type of dogs, If still in print. Was written by a well known German dog breeder.
This German dog man was one of the top of the line German Shepard's breeders bare none. I learned about this book from V. Jackson, who got his info from Mr. Lonzo Pratt. Mr. Pratt breed some excellent German Shepard's before he later started breeding his line of Pit Bull Terriers.

This German Dog breeder started out with the very best German Shepard stock available and with proper line breeding etc. The dogs generations down from the original stock looked like clone replica's of the original dogs he started out with. This man's dogs were not bred to just look at and win dog shows and ribbons. But performed very well in those dogs trials that the Germans do over there with the big German Shepard's/ Rottweilers and Dobermans.

IMHO, I still feel a brother/Sister breeding should only be done if say a good line of Carver/Colby/Tudor or any well know blood line today is soon to be lost forever. The dogs to be used should be proper built and healthy dogs. If either are high strung and not calm solid acting dogs. One will most likely get a bunch of root chewing/chain chewing/house chewing nut cases. Any freak built dogs back in the ancestry, will probably crop up. Now you can still get the same thing with line breeding etc. But you can probably count on that double your goodness and triple your junk factor that Maurice Carver spoke of.

One other thing to add. My Young's Chuck dog bred by Creel was a brother/sister breeding. Chuck was a very intelligent, calm, and solid/strong built pit dog. Scotty checked Chuck's oil in a get down and go dog show before being used as a stud dog. Chuck was around 5 years old at that time.This factor was helpful before using Chuck as a stud dog. Do not know how all chuck's siblings turned out. Over time heard good things about Mr. Creels dogs and did get to talk with him about my Chuck dog. Cheers
