You have to know your lines, the strengths and the weakness, when you attempt line breeding and inbreeding. As for keeping the female pup for your breeding program, if the parents have all the qualities your are looking for then keep her and evaluate her later. You don't know until the puppy gets older what faults might develop and if she is the quality you are looking for. |
