Hello Rough House I took a look at that test breeding. There are a lot of excellent foundational dogs on both sides. Plenty of Red Nose Lightner blood there- to Dibo-Corvino-Colby dogs.. Tramp Red Boy most likely carried a lot of Stidham-Hemphill blood.

If both dogs test game and are well built. Having no bad psychical traits. I see no reason not to breed them and see how it turns out.

We all have to start somewhere, should get some dogs with good hybrid vigor. You could line bred on each side. Long as you keep getting good to great dogs. Start out line breeding on the Gyp side to build up some future brood bitches to replace the old bitch. To much fascination on stud dogs today.

Regardless how you do it. Let your own dog sense and what you have seen of the dogs dictate how you continue to breed them. Any dogs show up with any type bad fault. Even if very game. Do not use that dog. I really liked my little Monkey bitch. Yet I know now I should have not bred her. Monkey was fiddle footed in the front feet and too big shouldered. I have seen that in Eli-Carver dogs. Another bad fault in the Eli-Carver and Mayfield dogs if in excess. Is a Roach back and some are Cow Hocked in the back end.

I saw that fault from Monkey come out in some of the V.J. dogs. Not all of them but some. Those type dogs and the ones I mentioned above can go lame if put through a hard keep etc.

If you are starting to work on your own bloodline. This breeding is good as any. Cheers
