Well, maybe we'll have to get together at some point and hook their descendants together ... as a matter of fact, the two half-sisters I just finished breeding to Silverback (Little D and Dirty Hammer) are both daughters of Diamond Girl's game daughter Dirty Diamond. In both cases, I bred the highly-inbred Dirty Diamond to super-athletic segments of my family (Rocko and Silverback), in an attempt to increase the ability, while losing none of the genetic prepotency.

I think it's pretty clear that your own family of dogs retains its consistent prepotency as well or better as any family alive, so there is no reason we couldn't re-create another dog like Ch Buster or better if we hooked a couple together. As a matter of fact, the only two times my bitches were bred to Nico Jr., Champions were produced in both litters, so it's something to think about anyway :ugeek:
