If you are trying to refine someone elses bloodline using linebreeding.. again what is the point? Can you do a better job than they did using the same genetic material? This is especially offset because a good breeder is not usually throwing away to another breeder the best of their stock. If you are hoping to do more than fix a few characteristics that are already present in the line and you want to instead create a dramatic change in that line then you should not be line-breeding. To clarify the point here is one simplistic example of why one WOULD want to linebreed: You have an established germline with few health issues and a quality phenotype, high mental stability but there is very little working drive in most of the individuals, You want to add working drive to your already superior quality dogs so you seek out those individuals in your line that have more drive and use these to refine, select for, and attempt to set this trait. Take this example a bit further into complication, with the assumption that within the population that represents your germ line there are 100 individuals to choose from and only 3 of these have a significant amount of working drive, but these 3 also have an undesirable trait found within the line (eg. They may have bad tail set. In this case you would use a quality member of the germ-line that is breeding true for good tails (parents and grandparents have the desirable tails) and cross in the high drive member. Now ALL THINGS PERMITTED AND GOOD LUCK FAIRY ON YOUR SIDE you have a chance to obtain a puppy that has both drive and a good tail set....to continue reading this article please click on here...
