Well Slick you breed dogs that work to dogs that work.
If your goal is working dogs. Try more to line breed than inbreed so you won't breed yourself into a corner.
So if all that is out of the way I personally would decide on a "BASE" to start with. A certain dog , a cross of the 2 dogs or maybe a cross of two using a 3rd as a catalyst.
If I understand you right there are a total of 4.
2 males & 2 females.
Well breed better female for the proven males, meaning breed both males to both females & take females that turn out to the one from other male in conjuction with 1/2 siblings on the same male. There is no one way to breed dogs.
Sometimes a 1/2 bros/sis may produce what you are looking for while a Daddy daughter work the next time. It's just like a boxing match. No one thing is the only thing to win the fight. You have to go with the flow of what turns out from a breeding.


But you do have all you need to establish your own family.
Here's some examples:
1male Crossfire bred to 3 different bitches

That male Crossfire was bred based on a similar concept. 1 male Johnie Rockhead bred to 3 different Females

Crossfire consists of 3 Families. Hicks , Sorrells & Browns.
Big Fred also consist of 3 families Hicks , Poetic Justce, & Carters.
You can continue to line breed either dogs with existing families without having to cross or you can continue to outcross but the only thing you have to actually do & focus on is simple.

Breed the ones that work & don't breed the ones that don't work.
Hope this helps.

 

thanks ziggy and there is a total of 5 dogs the sire 2 half bros 2 littermate sisters...3 of the dogs come frm da sam litter...i also have the dam to the half bro...

 

You should breed the bro to the mother to the 1/2 bro to the 1/2 mother then breed the second cousin (first cousins will get you arrested in some states) but only if your sure that the father isn;t around and make sur about them being 17 --- 16 will get you twenty--- anybody seen my pain medicine???

Lmfao. :lol:

 

good one bro lmao but nal these arent young dogs if thats what ur saying

 

Breed the sire a few more times, not the offspring.

 

If the pups aren't quite what you're looking for why inbreed? You said they have some but not all the traits you want. I say breed him a couple more times or find a dog that has what he is lacking and breed to that. Inbreeding isn't always the answer, especially if you have to ask questions. Personally I would only INBREED ON THE TRUTH WITH THE TRUTH. Meaning if I have ALL I want in a bulldog, I would rather breed him to something that has the same traits I want to keep. I would only inbreed if the pup/dog has EVERYTHING I want to continue producing, if possible
