The reason I would center my breedings around Sander's Satan and Hemphill's Rebel is because that is where it began to go haywire. Instead of breeding back to a grand sire or dam, some felt it best to move forward with inbreeding? The better dogs are behind Sander's Satan and Hemphill's Rebel. If you are concerned about maintaining the Geronimo X Red Dixie breeding, an outcross only changes the flavor of that particular strain. Weather it be Eli, Red Boy or Red Devil crosses, it would never preserve that particular Red Nose Family which in fact was closer to OFRN than the dogs that came after.
I think it safe to say that Wilder's Red Satan was perhaps the cleanest from the Geronimo X Red Dixie breeding. From people who handled him there was never the slightest indication of human agression or bite at you mentality. He was very submissive to humans and a nightmare of gameness to any pit bull. Deep red red nose. Wilder's Red Satan among the last of the game link to the imports. What a fine animal.
If you ever cross out, never cut your stem down. Be able to go back and maintain whatever purity % of that starter family.
