Line Or Family

[the goat 642]

I'd say family and line breeding are the same, but I could be wrong.

A number of breeders may breed from a Line...but the dogs individual breeders Produce within that line... sons,daughters.grandsons ect ect are what i refer too as a 'Family'...as they have the stamp of that breeder on them...a family within a line so to speak

so for arguments sake if I had a pair of nuttall dogs they are his line but if I bred them at home they the pups would be of that family is that what you mean

id say a family is more specific..i.e dogs that have thrown to a particular type(work included)and are also descended from specific dogs or bitches.

If you get some terriers from a mans breeding and after a generation or two they are still going strong then they are your line.

IF, however they start to go wrong then they are the other mans line.

 

Same goes when you use an outcross. If it clicks it's your breeding. If it doesn't it the the other blood that's shite.

If a man breed 5 or 6 generations from one mans stock does that make them dogs his line or the bloke he got his foundation dogs off ???? Lol

I say because of all the hard work you've put in to take the line forward 5 or 6 generations it becomes yours in my eye's but it's up to you to remind yourself were the line started

The old saying goes If breeding related dogs works it's line breeding,if it doesn't its inbreeding!

Personally I don't think they can call it their own line if they're just carrying on another mans work. Now if they had done some outcrosses then folded them back in to the line I think they'd have the right to call it their own distinct line after a fair few generations.

it's like a family tree

i agree bgd the bringing of 2 lines togeather is a creation the carrying on a line is just that carrying on trying to better somthing ... still the breeders of your base stock deserve the credit for that nomatter witch way you choose :-)

For me I wouldn't lay claim that something is my line/strain/family call it what you will, until I had achieved some input that made it mine. You can keep another mans line going for as many gens as you like it will always be he's if you follow he's path. That is until ive made that line better more consistent in work by adding something and making it better than the starting article, then I would say it's my line ! Until then you will always be a man with Nuttall or Steven or Gould or whatever your foundation stock is . JMHO !
