Donna is getting ready to leave for a big dog show weekend.

But, in answer to your question. When a breeder is breeding to improve the breed, they are constantly assessing their lines. So, if say (and this is a for instance) if you have a female that has a low tail set, you would want to breed that out. So, you look for a male that has that great tail set and of course a good tail set should be consistent in his pedigree....you would breed that female to that male.
