I hope that litter was fixed before you let them go. |
Food for thought: Wild dogs and wolves breed to whoever. They don't recognize their parents or children as such and will breed to them.
I do not make a practice of breeding parent to child but I know there are a lot of breeders who do inbreed and linebreed. BTW, you do not breed mothers to sons, only fathers to daughters and
never brother to sister. I have not looked up why because as I stated above, I do not make a practice of it, I have only done it once. I am too afraid of having deformed or mentally deficient puppies to experiment further.
Thanks to you experienced breeders for genetic advice, I will be getting some of those books as I can afford them. I will no longer be responding to this thread. Sylvia
