Piper is a combination of Overland, Clouddawn, Twin Oaks and Marnus. This doesn't sound like linebreeding, but all the individuals have a common background. Each grandparent comes down from Ch. Twin Oaks Joker's Wild.

What qualities and virtues have been contributed by key dogs in the stud's pedigree? Comment on important breedings in the stud dog's pedigree.
He is doubled on Ch. Clouddawn's Grandeur Promise which contributed to his eye and expression. We credit Joker's Wild for the flat filled skull and Ch. Marnus Gold Medalist for balance and sound movement.

Comment on successful outcrosses as represented in the stud's pedigree.
Piper is basically a product of linebreeding. The one outcross in his pedigree is Marnus Afterglow to Gold Medalist. She contributed a very long lean head. He added a flat skull along with body balance and soundness. Breeding their daughter back into the family solidified the virtues.
