Strongly disagree, the first 3 generations are most important, as often animals
produce traits like their grandparents and not the immediate parents. People
who do protection work are not as interested in preserving structural traits
that can be lost in one misstep breeding. If it were truly this simple as your
"mentor" states then an outstanding dog, bred to an outstanding bitch would
always yield outstanding progeny, I think we all know this is not the case. On
one hand we have the "oversimplification" of dog breeding, which was vocalized
by your mentor and which usually doesn't produce desired results, and on the
other hand we have those who may know the top winners, but lack the study
habits or simply don't have the knack to know the difference between "winners"
and producers". The later breeders, if you want to call them that are easily
duped by big win records beaucoup progeny being shown, yet they pay very little
attention to the phenotype of the
progeny, they simply see numbers, and numbers in their minds equal "producers.
Back when I started in the breed, (boy do I sound old) we studied pedigrees, we
ferreted out who the real producers were, and we paid attention to the progeny
phenotype. I didn't have a mentor, so I had to rely on my powers of observation
and studying bloodlines, and what lines seem to work well together. so what I
state above is not conjecture, but actual breeding principles that we applied
in our own breeding program. I think this principles served us pretty well!

My mentor in protection
dogs once told me that the most important dogs in a
puppy's pedigree are the dam and the
sire! Duh! Simple but true

HI...OK I am
thinking about doing a breeding based on Bracket
Formula...however it would be going twice the
2/3 formula...both on
bitch side and on
sires...is that too close &/or would I be defeating
the purpose of doing it in the first
place...just curious if anyone had
done
it before and would do it again.
Thanks

I answer;
The things you have
to remember about these formulas is that they are a
tool for the toolchest not the answer to
everything. And that it is
important
you use these formulas on dogs known to you for maximum
success.
One formula I use
is the X Chromosome factor or Motherlines. I am very
happy so far using this as a good tool.
There is a lot more to it but If you are
interested here is a starter
course on
the use of motherlines.
