Yes, this is exactly what interests me. The danger of damaging the gene pool is big, but on the other hand in our breed one can often meet a problem, when interested in some popular stud, who is no longer alive: if there is information about his offsprings, then you take the list of them, remove the ones, who come from dams, that do not suit your interests, then remove the ones without HD, then the ones, that did not attend any shows/bonitation (simply have no breeding rights) and... you have like one or two males from a "very popular stud"...
So what numbers are considered "still worth using a stud", and what are "it's enought"?
