The correct answer is Prepontency. Prepotency is the ability of the individual to stamp its characteristic on its offspring to such an extent that they resemble their parents more closely than in usual. It is the property of the characteristic and not the individual breed or sex. When two individuals are mated one may have more influence than the other on offspring. Similarly some lines and breeds are more pre-potent than others. However prepotency cant be passed on from one generation to another unless it is possessed by both sires and dams.
