In the past 5 years ALL my litters look like little clones. They are more and more identical . I am amazed at how high strung they are as well. I couldnt be happier with my stock as it is now.
I know you posted this awhile ago Evo, but I will be posting my entire Chapter "The Art of Breeding Dogs" very soon, and I get into the importance of uniformity there also, which is in alignment with the ideology of pretty much all successful breeders.
