cross breeding

[Rocky2 14]

I have been told that when crossing hounds e.g fox hound x harrier that the first cross is the best and when you cross these first crosses again then you will not have as good of hounds and more failures in the litters. Can any of you with good experience of hunting and breeding hounds tell me if this is true or not.
