Good morning Jay, sorry for the delay in replying.
To establish your own bloodlines, you familiarize yourself with the bloodlines available, and try to see as many from those lines as you can, keep notes on what you really like about each line,and also note what faults the lines carry (as you would never want to double on any faults) once you have decided from which line you would like to get into then you purchase the absolute best dog or bitch from that bloodline that you can afford,and try to make sure that the one you purchase is "linebred" heavily in that bloodline, then you would do the same from the second bloodline you have chosen. Once you have bred these two dog/bitch together and have your first litter, keep notes on how they progeny turned out, do they turn out as well as you had hoped and carry the conformation you want, if so then you are on the way to establishing your own bloodline, the two lines you crossed (bred together)would be your foundation for your kennel.Another thing to be aware of is to make sure the two bloodlines compliment each others (carry the same attributes you want) the odd time you will get two bloodlines that just do not work together, this is caused by the genes that are behind each dog in a pedigree, there could be big differences in the genes and that gives you a larger variety (sometimes not good) for how the genes will pair up once you combine the lines. You have some very nice bloodlines to start out with, and I wish you the best of luck.
