Wow fellows my senior moments and bad eye sight, have caught up with me. Thought the subject was about breeding a brother/Sister breeding. Wish I could put that info. over in the breeding section.

IMHO,If a all great litter of dogs have been bred up and the dog men intentionally show them into one another. There is very little in the end to be gained. These type of dog shows result in the lose of two great dogs. One or both could have been better producers than the rest of the siblings. No way of really knowing. It is even a bad idea to school your own young dogs into each other on your own yard. Best to use a young dog from another dog yard.

I never saw any of this done in my day unless it was a grudge match. One of the dog man was jealous over the other dog man's sibling dog or bitch. Over all the event never went well,usually causing just more hard feelings.

Even though it was not a brother/sister into each other. When Mr. Chavis sent Boone a dog of his to purposefully beat Powell's Termite. Thought that was sort of tacky and trying to cut off one's nose to spite their own face. No one likes to stare across the show ring at a dog of the same family of dogs one has.

From the mid 70's to around the 80's-90's, the Maurice Carver line had gotten so popular. About all you saw was Carver dogs gong into Carver dogs. The Carver line had put a bad whooping on the Colby/Bullet/Old Family Red nose dogs in the Carolina's. Ole Loposay saw the writing on the wall and bought that Carver's (Shivar's/Loposay's) Buster dog to improve his dog yard. LOL

I too had been trying some various local Carolina dogs with little success. When We started using some of those Carver/Mayfield/Tudor/ Texas Tea blends. Things got much better. LOL Generally best to see different lines of popular show dogs perform against each other. Saves a lot of better breeding stock that way. Cheers
