But HOW do these lines start?...a guy gets a dog and a bitch, lines them, they produce a few litters, and thats how its starts?...or do they take someone else's line (who is just a quite guy who digs his dogs and breeds for his own use) breed a few litters and stick there name on the label so to speak?...

If you believe Sean Frain then it all started from Buck and Breay ,the fell types anyway.Personally Im not old enough to remember them. Some on here write like they are :whistle: Theres certainly been some hyjacking of strains over the years Im sure but did the originators care.Did they want the fame ,not fortune ,that some crave?.
