With using 2 heavily linebred/inbred dog of different anciestry, does that actually increase the chances of success or the opposite??

It really depends on the dogs used, and (unfortunately) there is no 100% way to predict what is going to happen. If we could hit a Grand Slam with every outcross we'd all be rich

Certainly, there have been some Grand Slam outcrosses, with game-changing results: the Chavis' Ch Yellow John/Miss Jocko breeding, the Yellow/Dolly breeding, etc. The trouble is, most outcrosses are not so successful :cry:

I do believe that if you're using two super-clean-bred specimens, of excellent ancestry and high-percentage overall quality, with lines the are known for having traits which complement the other, that your chances are excellent of achieving a reasonable set of breeding goals ... but whether you'll hit a Grand Slam or not depends on a little luck too 8-)
