I thought about writing a 30 page report with references on genetics but then I said that would be too much to read I may still do here in the near future.

3 to 10 ratio on 100,00 genes. We will leave it at that on ten years.

BTW I'm not a breeder I am a teacher for research and development on genetics.

Bitch and stud in your sceanrio is "already" pure but may not have very typey profiles to submit to the gene pool. And recessive genes will out over a 10 yr period if you deliberately select for those recessive genes. Oh I yes I do understand very well how DNA works including breeding intentionally or not recessive genes.

You have enough of the breeders just selecting for large size and over 10 yrs we shall have a YT on average of a larger size.

The point is the standard is present to protect, preserve, and hopefully one day improve the breed. The point of a purebred is to breed a consistent set of characteristics, including temperament, coat/colour, structure, size and health. So a Yorkie or a Beagle not only looks like one, but acts like one.

And btw I am a breeder[/QUOTE]
