line breeding or in-breeding..your thoughts?

[Wenaha]

It looks like mostly all of the inbreeding or linebreeding of the various breeds of pointing dogs is done on the Dog's line (male). The line that i have been looking at seems to be more structured around the bitches line. Like I said in my original post: breedings of mother/son, 1/2 siblings with common mother and so forth.
I have always felt that a strong mother-line is more beneficial to improving or at least maintaining the qualities desired in a breeding program, but this kind of breeding program is hard to find.
Do you think there is a difference between these types of breeding programs ie. mother-line versus father-line? I'll leave this question a bit vague in the hopes of getting a larger variety of comments.

Some line foundation dogs seem to result in better production from the females. FWIW, my own experience tells me that the female usually has greater impact on the quality of pups produced than the stud.

With females, of course, breedings are more limited, and many owners of trial proven females do not want to take time to whelp a litter or two. This makes it tough to find a litter from a truly proven female. Not impossible, though.
