I think what he is saying is similar to what they do in some breeds of horses. 
Every so often you can "appendix" register a horse, ie you can take an 
appaloosa and breed to a quarter horse, then take the resulting progeny and go 
back into appaloosa lines. I had an App that had lines that went back to 
quarter horse for one generation. This was done to get more mane and tail as 
typically Apps don't have much. However, my app did not have color, not one 
spot and the only sclerotic coloring of the skin he had was on his testicles, 
which were removed! LOL! He did have a beautiful mane and tail, though but he 
lacked all the traits that would distinguish him as an appaloosa!I also had an 
appendix registered quarter horse mare. Her lines were outcrossed with 
Thoroughbreds. She was not a great mare. She was refined like a thoroughbred 
can be, and she did not have the typical sound temperament of many quarter 
horses.In other words, like my appaloosa, she was not the "best of both worlds" 
either. Awhile back there was a discussion about "Oppenhiemer's rules" One of 
those rules( and its one of my favorites) is to not do injudicious outcrosses 
as they lead to an amalgamation of problems, and the outcome of your litters 
are hard to predict. Outcrosses should only be done for an absolute specific 
reason, and then you are to keep ONLY the progeny that exhibit the improvement. 
naturally Oppenheimer was talking about within the breed, could you imagine the 
problems you could potentially get and how unpredictable even your future 
litters would be if you were to outcross to a different breed??? Christine

In the T. Becker interview, he mentions creating healthier dogs by taking a 
registered dog and breeding it to another similar (same group), registered 
breed of dog.  Ultimately, creating a mixed breed, but healthier?  How can this 
be healthier.. much less ever registered?  And, who is going to do all the 
fixing and breeding of all groups?  It sounds like a structure made of cards, 
we'll just knock it all over and start from the beginning.  Holy smoke!!

While this list is geared toward the AKC/CKC rings, it's always interesting to 
jump over and see how the other rings are doing.  
"(UKC Wayne Cavanaugh) Wayne has rewritten the GSD standard and is retraining 
judges."  

It's an interesting read, if nothing else.  Dr. K. Becker has joined Dr. T. 
Becker in slamming Dog Breeders.
