Debbie breeding & genetics is a very big subject - with LOTS of opinions floating about out there - You will get your most predictable type / temperament / structure when you line breed - It is a complex, challenging business keeping the genes complex enough to keep strength & health while limited enough to maintain the specific characteristics of your 'line' - The difference between in breeding and line breeding? The only difference is how CLOSE the dogs are doubled up -- If possible, I'd recommend you buy from a breeder who has a good 'track record' of producing pups that have sound health and are winning in conformation / obedience venues -- Sometimes you can get an excellent pup from a first time breeder - or someone with more or less limited experience -- but it is more of a gamble - Just my opinion -- what I try to look for --
