Just like some dog breeds not wise to breed paint to paint due to white gene possible outcome which can be fatal. I wonder if the brewers will end up having this same problem? |
I'm only speaking based on information passed to me and my opinion on it.
I'd be very hesitant to get a Biewer...the gene pool is bottlenecked.
While many beleive in line breeding, many who beleive in this also admit issues arrise: neurological etc which result in both behavioral & medical health decline.
I have a totally out of standard yorkie who came from a breeder who apparently 20 years ago was reguarded highly among her peers for her line...she admitted line breeding in my dogs generation the breeder says he's the only one but I've talked with 14the others...our dogs have an array of neurological issues...generations beyond as many were sold to other breeders have only resulted in worse & further decline, in fact many of the pups never survived whelping.
