When it comes to breeding dogs and I suspect even people, you never know what youre going to get. I have found that with dogs, it tends to jump sideways one direction and back 2. Meaning your knockdown drag out coon treeing world champion, when bred back will jump to a grandfather/grandmother and or a aunt/uncle characteristic instead of a father/mother characteristic. Take this from someone who has semen stored from a grchgrnitech male that's been trying for 15 years to get back to the traits of the MOTHER of that male, who was a better dog than the male ever thought about being. After spending THOUSANDS of dollars trying, I finally gave the rest of my dogs away and quit. I still have 7 or 8 straws of that semen stored though in case I ever decide to try it again.
