I agree sometimes matches between the stud dog and dam just do not mix well.
But do that breeding with a sister of that same dam and wow you have great
success. Its all a gamble, you can research, plan etc. but you can't control
genetics and where they fall. Just because that one dam did mesh well with a
particular stud doesn't mean bred to a different stud would produce the same
results.
You have to consider what you know in your lines and what lies in the lines of
the potential stud which that information is not always forthcoming.

Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Re: genetic combinations
There is no right bloodline combination that always works. In the 80's I bred
two champion sisters to the same dog. One and her progeny lived to ten or older
with no problems. The sister produced autoimmune. masked in so many diseases
that it was a few years, before we even realized that it was all autoimmune
related. Most of her progeny were dead by five. So was this a successful
combination or a disaster? If only one of the bitches had been bred to this
dog, we would have had a definite answer.

Just curious. People have talked about sharing knowledge of what combinations
of lines work well, work badly, produce whatever, etc., etc. I think German
breeders have access to this kind of knowledge for their dogs, but isn't that
because they have "overseers" for the breed who study this, evaluate dogs, and
disseminate the info as needed? (please tell me if I've misunderstood the
German way)
Who do we have here with our American dogs that can provide any thing like that
at all except perhaps some of the breeders who have been breeding for 30 years
or more? Even then, if they live on the East Coast, would they be totally
familiar with West Coast lines? And how many breedings of "A" line dogs with
"B" line dogs would it take to suspect that there is a recurring problem? Does
any breeder do that many breedings of A to B? Is the stud dog owner going to
collect information from every breeding to know what problems and what good
points were produced? And how many puppy buyers (even though encouraged to do
so) keep in touch with the breeder to let them know that their puppy had minor
problems or even that the puppy lived to be 15.
