Well Im no expert but I have also maintained one particular line of hounds for 40 plus years. I'm of the opinion that you would have been better off to have done both, collected seman and made some outcrosses.
I say that because I always made one outcross and then doubled that hound back over an uncle or grandparent. I never collected the two to three outstanding hounds I raised from those crosses but now today I sure wish I would have.
I'm sure there are breeders out there much smarter than I but that is how I done it. I did have one dog that placed two years in a row, once top ten and once top 15 of the Xkc world hunt, and man do I wish today I would have collected him. He proved he could hold his own with some of the very best in the country.
