 Mini breeds
just from my point of view .. as i breed a mini breed a breed that has been down sized i know that my breed and other breeds like mine Toy and mini Podles like mini and toy aussies have more health problems than less. the way to down size is selective breeding and with this you cut alot of the standard size gene pool out so there is a lot of line breeding and inbreeding i had to travle 1000's of miles to find my stock that were not related in the first four lines and it was hard if you breed two lines that are know to have a bite problem you have a serious bite problem i wont breed my mini and toy aussies with out a three year wait to see what im dealing with and i am quick to snip off the family jewles if i see an issue line breeding is not a bad thing if you know what your doing but how many ppl breed and try to deal with genes that know extreemly little i would sudgest that what ever you do make shure health clearences are done all test that would be done on a standard should be done on a toy or a mini of any breed and since this is a new breed to minitureize be extreemly careful good luck cant wait to see pics |
