Sometimes they can't see the forest because of the trees

I agree with most of your post. Great points.

However, I disagree with your point of breeding another's dogs. It is all about selection. If I bought two dogs form you and then bred them, from that point they are my dogs and possibly the start of what I am doing going forward.

I say that because of selection. I may have bought dog #1 and dog #2 from you and if they were still yours you may have bred them to your Dog #3 based on your past experience with your family of dogs.

When I breed dog #1 and dog #2 that is based on what I seen, what I am looking for, and what I hope to get. All those things are different at your house.

Will the pedigree still suggest they are your dogs? Yep. But if I went a different route than you that separates me and you and then become the first real disconnect between you and the line that breaks off from your family of dogs.

Great post. Good insight.

This male is going to be the first one where we went out and I am not going back into the Mims family with his first breeding. (Mostly because the number of Mims dogs left is forever dwindling) He will be bred to a fairly straight Eli bitch from the Cardenas/Kronos/Beaudreaux dogs but she has one shot of Red Boy in the back.

The reason I am choosing these two is that they are both match quality dogs. Both have insane drive and insane motors to match. They both are non-stop movers on the chain and both are extremely athletic. Both are pound for pound strong and the Eli female can just about breathe underwater.

I have no earthly idea what I am going to get. Hopefully some bulldogs, but I am guessing they could be all over the map. Black dogs, brindle dogs, big dogs, little dogs, mouth from nothing to monster, and ear suckers to finishers and pretty much anywhere in between.

Time will tell.
