I have this male. From living with him. Watching him work and how he thinks. I feel I understand him. Mentally, athletically. He’s still young.

I have this female. From working with her. I think she’s athletic. Gentle with people. She can get nippy cause she’s got a high prey drive. I feel like I know her.

I’m planning some breedings. If I can get the dogs that I want. This dog or his brother.

From my understanding he has produced well. He’s not a Michael Jordan but from what I see in my male and what rumors are about his kids is why I want him or his brother. That breeding has a inbreeding coefficient of 10% and will be 40% Hollingsworth Bull. I like the rumors about bull. Tough, durable stick to it type, that threw freakishly strong dogs that may be slow. For confirmation, weight pull, hog hunting I think this is a good base. Plus its 1/4 3/4 breeding the opposite way as my boy. More Bolio Tombstone than rbj. I know there are some high flying studs out there. I feel this is a good foundation for the traits I value as family mascots. Tough, durable, keep going, hard worker, blue collar types. If I can get access to this dog or his brother. I would take the one I liked out of the litter in due time to puma or machobear. I would stay within that part of the family most likely. Add some athlete to it. Basically linebred uncle niece focusing on bull. Then add some prime time. Stupid or not? Does this qualify as the cross within your own line?

Yes it would send you in the right direction for creating a line bred family .

The main difference between line breeding and inbreeding is that inbreeding has the exact same. Line breeding has something different.

Even though the all have the same at some point when you have so many generations ,it's the % amount within the 1st 4 generations that still separate's inbreeding from line breeding.

All you need is 3 to start a family and then you can add on in time. You can take 2 males to a single female ,2 females - a single male or both.

You can breed a male -2 females ,1/2 bro/sis and then take a female out of that too the other male.
By changing the male on the top every 2-3 generations and the same changing the female you keep hybred vigor.

The initial crosses creates new dogs and you can line breed using the cross to create new strains.]

Research "Punnett Squares" .
It will explain how starting a family with 2 dogs works within 4 or more generations without outcrossing.

The minute you outcross to a completely new family you then create a new Punnett Square and new process.

Another thing to research would be the monk Gregor Mendal .

Not one who started Punnet square but is most know for Punnett Squares.
