Line breeding doesn't pan out in the real world anyway, atleast not with hounds. Maybe with livestock but not with animals that have to think.
Stylish Harry wasn't line bred, neither was Nite Heat Abby. Rat Attack wasn't, neither was Sackett Jr. Mojo sure as heck ain't line bred. It goes on and on. How many successful studs were a product of true line breeding? If there was ANY real answer to these breeding questions, someone would stand out for their success but in fact, while there are those who have proven to be better breeders than most, there are none that can be counted on to beat anyone else time after time. Look at the pedigrees of our most consistent winners and reproducers. Neither is dominated by line breeding. I agree that line breeding makes the most sense, it just doesn't prove out in real life.
Maybe not up really close but go back a few generations. The foundation stock shows up over and over and over and over. Take my dog for instance. Look at a 6 generation pedigree on him. Look all through from top to bottom and left to right. YOu will see ......... LIPPER, BOZO, QUEEN, LIPPER, BOZO, QUEEN, LIPPER, BOZO, QUEEN, LIPPER , BOZO, QUEEN, LIPPER, BOZO,QUEEN, LIPPER, BOZO, QUEEN, ETC. Is that not some form of "linebreeding"?
