He can have perfect knees, but he can sire luxating patellas, Legg Calve Perthes, PRA, the list is endless.
How about a bad bite..both parents can have perfect bites and produce a pup or pups with under or over bites..it is a recessive gene.
When you select an inbred stud for your breeding program, you are NOT "trying" one breeding...a stud can sire dozens of puppies, a one time breeding may produce 3 or 4 pups...I would avoid an inbred stud or bitch at any cost...
So, in order to keep the line strong and not tempting Mother Nature..and that woman is a bitch!! we avoid inbreeding..or the wise breeder does...it will catch up to you at some point, always does...How do you think the Liver shunt problem spread in the first place..INBREEDING!!! Yeah, I'm screaming..sorry. |
I am trying to learn and I was REALLY hoping that the whole screaming thing would not happen............so much for that.....How is anyone supposed to learn if they always get the screaming thing??????????????
This is why I did not start posting until a short time ago....And will probably STOP posting....then every one can get mad because I am breeding in the DARK....I have really learned a lot from this site but, there are some questions that are very specific the the situation.
Thank You to the replies that are trying to be informative.
