About two years ago, I asked breeders on the List which they thought was
more important when breeding, phenotype or genotype. Naturally everyone
had their different opinions and gave the reasons for them. Fred M.
gave me a quick, simple answer, and I liked it. He told me to forget
about the pedigree and breed type to type. Well I think he gave me good
advice. Having studied the Redbook, I noticed that many of the winning
offspring were from outcross breedings. To take this a step further, I
watched the 2006' Stud Dog Class from the National again. When the
announcer called in each stud dogs progeny, he would say if it was an
outcross, or a linebreeding. Most helpful. The majority were
outcrosses. Interesting. So besides paying attention to health
problems and other structural faults and temperament, I think I will
definitely be breeding type to type and as usual to correct my bitches
faults. Although I may add, my humble successes in breeding has been
due to linebreeding. Go figure! Best wishes, Barbara
