What I meant by not doubling anything - I am talking about faults. You have to make sure the pair do not have any major faults. And any minor faults are not doubled up on. Pedigrees are good to know what is behind them, but you must also make judgement especially how the sire and dam are in real life. What can look gorgeous on paper, might not always be as good in real life. But you can not avoid looking at the pedigree either. It gives you a peek into what my be the outcome. It drives me crazy when people do not know the pedigree on their dog they are breeding and do not learn the standard. Nor know for sure if their dog is really worth breeding. Okay - I am going to bite my tongue here.
