Dont confuse being rude with being to the point.
The bottom line is with out testing a dog your rolling the dice breeding them. Even if they both seem like perfect dogs it could simply be recessed.
Then we have to ask our self why are we breeding these two? Personally I think the way a dog looks is the last reason on a short list. The first reason is real temperament followed likely by the drives. Though judging by what passes as good temp in most breeds now, I would say I'm the minority there.
More important then testing, is the reason behind the breeding. What does your dog have thats so damn special?
I would venture to say most breedings are a waste my self. Until you know some real history of the breed, old history, until you know what the real temperament and drives the breed should have. Historically, not what might pass mustard on this forum, or even in alot of kennels, real true to the breed kinda stuff...... Until you really get that, you simply should not even consider breeding.
Again, I'm likely in the minority here a well. Note, I never mention knowing the look. We all know what a EM looks like
