The particular dogs I have are bred more around animals that like the face. Most of the ones I have don't start out too fast, though there are those that do. They start off even keel, and when the other animal starts to slow down, then they start to snowball from there, and things just gradually get worse. That's not ALL of them. But that's the trick to it. I try to breed the even keel dogs that like the face, and then they snowball when the other starts to slow. If there are some that are fast out of the gate and can get it done, I'll add that here and there to keep things where they need to be.
In regards to what BX said, I've never had to add anything to bring back what mouth the dogs have. If you want to retain the mouth in that line of dogs, you have to breed dogs that have the kind of mouth you like from that line of dogs. If the dogs are mush mouth, then that's what you get when you breed. You can easily find a dog, within the same family, that has the mouth you'd like to see and breed to that. There's no reason to completely outcross when there are other ways to skin that cat.
I've seen a ton of shitty Jeep/Redboy dogs as it's a mainstay in regards to a line of dogs, so they're everywhere. Quality dogs from that line of dogs can win anywhere against anyone, just as any other quality dog from any other line. It's almost impossible to generalize an entire line of dogs from what a person has seen. That is just their experience.
