Is it true that you can breed the father to daughter and so on in order to get the better quailties that you want out of a dog?
And if so which ones can breed and which ones cant?

Yes you can and yes you can get the best qualities but ONLY if you know the dogs in the pedigree and I mean KNOW not what someone else says. Otherwise you are also subject to bring out every fault in the world that has been hidden. By the way it is called inbreeding not inline breeding. It is a tool, like anything else and should only be used by very experienced breeders. I believe the way it works is if you breed a daughter back to a sire it is to retain more of his qualities. There is a book that is long out of print called Planned Breeding by Lloyd Brackett, but you can google it and print it out. If you are interested in inbreeding and tight linebreeding I strongly suggest you read this. Would I do it? Yes but only if I was looking to retain and reinforce certain qualities AND I knew all the dogs. Bottom line is, JMO, you can get either super dogs or super flops that never should have been brought into the world.

Only for the report: In Germany a closer than 2/3 linebreeding in German Shepherds is forbidden - no SV pedigrees.
As vonissk said: ...you can get either super dogs or super flops that never should have been brought into the world.

a better plan.......if you are absolutely certain that the trait you desire is coming from the sire, take his daughter to a half brother of the sire that possess that trait.
you will have better success and not so much risk of setting in undesirable which you may not even be aware of.

****be sure to pay close attention to the dam lines as well since they are equally as important as the male--perhaps more so.

pjp thanks for the input. I didn't know that about the half brother and I will definately file that in my crammed brain. Very good advice and makes absolute sense to me. And of course about the mother lines and IMO should be a given.
