The litter was consist of 3pups one male and two female. the one male got in a kennel accident and did not survive and the other sister was owned by a knucklehead stupid ass guy that did the pup injustice before she had a chance. Now the last living dog out the litter never proved to me nothing at all but i took a chance and breed her basic on her perents . The Male i stud her to is a beautiful male he is worth breeding to he has proven himself. Did anyone ever did the same thing i did and what was the outcome of the breeding. What were you thinking when you were raising the litter? really would love to know you guys opinion thanks all
A couple of points my friend: 1) she is your dog and you can do whatever you want with her; 2) one thing I have learned in these dogs is 99.99999x out of 100, a dog's life will be shorter than what you expect. That said, if something is "the last" of your best blood, and you can "make more of it," take advantage of it while you have the chance. You can always get rid of dogs you have, that you don't like, but you can never produce what you want with dogs you "don't have" to begin with. I can't tell you how many people I know who have said, "Wow I wish I would have bred X while I had the chance ..."

With that preamble out of the way, however, I can't tell you if your particular pups are going to be good or not. What I can tell you is, when dog genetics are prepotent (and properly-managed), that yes there is a high likelihood of the pups getting the traits of their parents, absolutely. That is the entire point of linebreeding.
