Hallo! What do mean the numbers at linebreeding (at beginn?)

For example: The dog "LADY" is in this pedigree TWICE. She is the GRANDMOTHER and also the GREAT-GRANDMOTHER.
The generations are numbered with the number of generations back.
The dog whose pedigree this would be is said to be linebred on Lady with the ratio of 2:3. (She appears in the 2nd generation and the 3rd).
They say that the purpose of linebreeding brings out your strengths of the dog/lines you are linebreeding on, but it can also bring out the weaknesses. Though there are risks of producing faults/weaknesses - even if the dogs are not related.
If you have a particular trait you would like to "stabilise" in your breeding program, they say linebreeding is a good tool for this.
Linebreeding MAGNIFIES whatever lies in the lineage of the dog. It doesn't create problems that are not already underlying.
