IMHO,Some of these traits come more predomatley through the AM Staff families of dogs. If your dog's bloodline goes back to some of the AM Staff dogs same ancestors. A similar throw back in color can occur.

IMHO, if you get certain color of dogs most of the time. Then up pops a puppy or two that is totally different in color from the rest. Is usually wise to hang onto them and see how they turn out. They make very good dogs, these throw backs sometimes can be bred back into it's same bloodline. Giving the bloodline for a lack of the proper word, hybrid vigor. Without going outside your bloodline and introducing another entirely new set of genes. Cheers
How's it going CYJ? Thanks again for the wealth of knowledge you provided concerning my future breeding.Pardon me guys if I'm take the thread in slightly different direction.
I have a question about the above post, so if you don't mind can you elaborate on the throwback pups.

Like does the throwback provide hybrid vigor, because they offer a somewhat different mixture of genes. Also if bred back into the family, this will look like line breeding/ inbreeding on paper, but would you personally consider this somewhat of an outcross? Lastly what traits do you believe this dog would most likely present? The dogs or dog it's a throwback too or the family of dogs you're actually breeding.

If my understanding of throwbacks is completely off get me right fellas! Any and all responses are welcomed.
