a pedigree where his sire and dam was a linebreeding with your bitches sire and dam and the other stud dog had a linebreeding a little further back on the dam's side but was very type to type (wither, topline, rear, pigment - almost looking like they came from the same litter), which one >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> I would chose the second dog (the stud whose linebreeding was a little firther back on the dam's side).
