A little simplistic of an explanation, but without going into genetics, pedigrees that breeders go through when picking out a stud, it's the best I could do. |
That is putting simply for the rest of us to understand. Thanks Mary.
I have done so much genetic reading, and looking at pedigree's that its hard to find what you want, but once you do then you will pay a good penny for that puppy. Genetics is a huge part of finding what you want. I suggest that if your interested in breeding look for great line, and then see what the sire's genetic traits are as well as the dam. You also should go back at least 3-5 generations to get a good idea of what you will be getting.
