I will try to double up the genes by breeding a bitch with an Alexander grandfather to an Alexander bred stud. The resulting puppies should have an improvement in structure. You have to be careful in your selection of what lines to double up as you can also double up on faults. This is a brief example. This is also harder to explain this late in the day!!!LOL

Thanks for you Wisdom on this subject and I am I hope learning. Hugs, Lee
