Outcrossing is one of the most talked about and misunderstood topics in dog breeding.
Episode 1 of The Better Breeder Roundtable is live. Host Kathy Rust sits down with master breeder Bill Shelton (Coventry Pembroke Welsh Corgis) and Lisa Braun (Mischief Papillons and Miniature American Shepherds) for a practical conversation on when, why, and how to outcross without losing what makes your line special.
Bill explains why outcrossing is not a shortcut or a fix for problems. It is a long-term strategy for enrichment, used to capture specific virtues while preserving type, health, and consistency.
