Did Jim Clarke breed on paper alone?

I agree regarding line breeding... the only point of difference between us, an d many breeders is how close you go. Jim Clarke has been able to stay true to his line, with very little complete outcrossing for generations by not getting closer than grandparents... it 's the philosophy I follow... I wont go as close as most, and as a result will not have to go as far away as as most.

A Brick son over a Brick grand daughter will only give you a 6.25% COI if my maths is correct, that's very minor.
