How true is this? I've been told that most offspring are 'dogs', no
matter where the parents came from. What little hybridizing that I've
done, verifies the dog theory and most are throwaways. Last year two
parents produced 30 seedlings or so, with only one that I would keep.
Alot were so-so if you know what I mean but not really keepers.
