Rarity Tiers

Tiers reflect how difficult a line is to reproduce, not how good the dogs are. A Foundation line will often out-structure an Ultra Rare one.

Foundation

Origin lines. Reproduce easily and reliably — structure, bone and health come from here.

Rare

One or two recessives to align. Litters are predictable; waiting lists run three to six months.

Ultra Rare

Three or four recessives stacked. Small litters, irregular results, twelve-month waits are normal.

Legendary

Flagship and capstone lines. Bred once or twice a year, usually spoken for before whelping.
