So this breeder tells me about his planned breeding for his beautiful 
bitch.  He told me about all the old dogs in the pedigree and how many 
times there would be Hawkeye in there and that Hawkeye was 4 times 
linebred on GV Troll von Richterbach and that would make this pedigree 
linebred on Troll 136 times.  He said that this dog would have a strong 
influence on this pedigree even though there would be those who argued 
that it was so far back to really matter.  So I thought what a good 
subject this might be for all the "students" of pedigree studies and 
genetics.  Just how much influence does a dog have that is not even 
displayed in a five generation pedigree but may be over 100 times going 
back several generations more?   Barbara
