No one wants a dog that's "too small", no matter how
much drive etc they have. And I would worry linebreeding
on a male like Belschik would produce exactly that,
undersized dogs.
I believe Rinus did it with his Optikas D litter? And if memory
is correct those dogs were awfully small.

that people should be aware of when considering a breeding. I'm not
talking about medium sized dogs, I am referring to undersized dogs.
Also, the ability to cap the drive and think clearly might be another thing
one should keep in mind. Obviously Belschik would be just one of the dogs
in the pedigree being linebred on, but thin nerves would be another thing one
would keep an eye on. I'm sure there are a few dogs out there linebred on
Belschik macrowe, but there would also be other dogs in those dogs pedigree
too that could contribute to size. The reality was, Belschik was a smaller dog.
Nothing wrong with that, he was within the standard, but, the propensity to
produce smaller or undersize dogs is a reality that people should take heed of.
LTC, there are larger to oversized dogs out there that remain sound too, much depends
on the genetics behind the dog, how the dog is maintained etc as far as soundness.
I can think of several large to oversize dogs that are still sound and moving well at
10-14 years of age, that's a credit to good genetics and proper care. I also know of dogs
that are a nice 'medium' size at 70-80lbs that are crippled up by 6+ years of age.
Certainly didn't mean to get people so defensive, it's a simple observation based on
what has been produced by linebreeding on the one dog that was listed here. I would
also take into account the number of monorchids, bad hips etc that were produced
along the way.
