Well, basically, when you inbreed you intensify traits. Some of those traits can be negative, while others will be positive. The acid test of genetic strength is to be able to inbreed and get match ability.

When I inbred Poncho to Missy (my only brother/sister breeding), of the pups who lived 1 was an average, game dog, 1 was a bum, and 1 was a cold dog, while there was 1 ACE untouchable bitch. I should have kept that one and brought her into the program, but I sold her. All of them were very tough and very hard to hurt.

Everytime I have bred Silverback back to his daughters, I have gotten fantastic dogs. Every double-bred Silverback dog I know of is above average.

Other than a probable small size, I think some of these pups stand to be excellent.
