this question is directed at those who have actual experience breeding. not what you believe or what someone has told you....
with that.....i have heard the generalization that with VERY tight line breeding of excellent dogs, that it will produce one or two excellent dogs, some that need to be culled, and some just not suited for work. whereas when two excellent dogs are bred that don't share too many genes, you get 4-6 VERY good dogs, MAYBE one excellent one, and the rest "pet" quality. is there any truth to this generalization?
i have ZERO experience with breeding...
