I have had a couple of preliminary stud enquiries for my young GSD who is linebred on Fax vom Grenzganger and Fax's parents Dolf and Fee, (3 dogs in the linebreeding) from a couple of people looking at carrying on the Fax bloodlines who have bitches said to be of Fax lines also?.

On a mating check with one particular bitch and my boy creates a linebreeding on 22 different dogs and 12 different dogs in the critical generations said to provide the most potential to inherit traits. My question to people knowledgable in linebreeding, is the kind of linebreeding which to me looks horribly cluttered with too many dogs, something you wouldn't consider, or do the actual parentage traits take priority over linebreeding as to how the progeny may turn out?
