Most people give credit to a dog that is 6-7 generations back for the making of some dogs. My question is, how far back, does a dog have to be, before you give credit to another dog? Take Lipper for example.

With line bread dogs it probably means something that far back but when they're out crossed I don't much care about anything beyond grandparents. It's just something to look at on the papers beyond that. JMO

Anything past grandparents doesnt mean much. Personally I just look at the sire and dam of every dog.

The first generation. If there parents cant reproduce then the rest mean nothing. They get all of there genes from their parents. No further.

From what I keep hearing a dog has to have a all grand pedigree. I bet if there was only one titled dog on the pedigree that is who would get all the credit.lol

Genetics are tricky any dog in the 3 generations can crop out but even in people we only carry three gen. of traits. but if you consolidate the traits by line breeding you get better guality pups.

I look at grandparents forward. its a known fact genes skip generations due to pos recessive and a host of other factors. I have even documented lines within the English breed where males pass on to daughters but not sons and mothers pass on to sons but not daughters.......and others where father to son or mother to daughter is the only way the gene passes on.

the dog, parents, and grand parents tells you pretty much anything you need to know along with other litters of the same cross or littermates of the same litter.
