Nice.

Although many of crosses were done in the past that were household names, many are still continuing in these present times.
I have Redboy along with many other families as a part of my family, but I also have dogs I put together from scratch before adding the already established families.
I don't think that people do less with the dogs these days but say less about doing dogs these days.
That's the way it should be.
Knowing is more than 1/2 the battle and knowing How to breed not just what the breed is the key factor of change.
It's not a guessing game what you know have seen each and every one in each and every generation. Hands on with each dog always out ways hearing about each one in every generation.

Building your own dogs is what makes them already better than buying them. Keeping whole litters shows and only letting out 1 or 2 at most is greater knowledge than only keeping 1 or 2 from each litter.
So much wrong is done than right IMO over the last few decades. If someone keeps what's left and let others pick 1st than I don't want what they feed. They have lower standards.
How can you use only the best to go back into your dog's when you don't know which is the best? You have to see each one to know that.
Whatever you are working on like that is not using the best of the best but what's left of the litter.

You can and still use only the best of dogs just dogs from your yard. No matter how they are bred on your yard they will all come together over time and your name will be dominant on the pedigrees.
So, this is why pure based on the breeder is far different than pure based on a single dog.

I have and will only add Pure dogs to the family 99% of the times and blend them as I see fit.
But the family as a whole will always be based on dogs that I have actually have my hands on.
Not papers and stories of others of other people dogs no matter how famous they may be.

Just a habit of always using my own pedigrees as my own examples when it comes to the statements I make,
