| article The article is titled.."The Downside of Inbreeding"...It's Time For A New Approach"... It starts with the quote I posted in my first post and ends with this quote... "Inbreeding gave us the many breeds of dogs we enjoy today, but its time is past. If purebred dogs are to remain viable into the next century, breeders need to rethink their strategy and work toward their goals with more emphasis on over-all health and concerted efforts to reduce the level of inbreeding in their dogs.." granted the above sentence is a mouth full and should perhaps be two..but that it is anti-inbreeding, yes, no?? One thing I found interesting is the part about wild animals..."Nature goes to great lengths to discourage inbreeding. Related animals rarely mate, which prevents genes for diseases and defects from coming together with any great frequency. Wild animals have a variety of behaviors which will eliminate or severely restrict inbreeding.... Another quote..."A common result of inbreeding is "inbreeding depression", typified by small litter size and difficulty producing or rearing young.... |

| Anne Serane As to Anne Seranne and many other show breeders..and I include myself as I have inbred...the time has past. Inbreeding was quite common and necessary to set type some years ago..but I think with all the genetic problems, we as breeders need to rethink our breeding programs as the article states. Some of the older books still hold true to this day..but I have read a few things in Ethel Mundays books that is just no longer true or done..no different then many books written decades ago. |

| Pat I read the same article, what confuses me is days gone by it was a norm and many many breeders continue doing it today. What just woke them up? What made them question what has been done for so many years? How can a breeder successfully create and solidify a look without it? I have never inbred or line bred but I cant say I would never JMHO

| article In the beginning breeders bred "Like to Like"...then came "inbreeding" to set a type. A type can be set by going back to breeding "like to like"...we have to remember the earlier breeders did not allow the weak to survive .Now we try to save them all..and many will go ahead and breed them. I was talking to a vet last month who knows breeders who have had liver shunts repaired and then bred the dogs. I thought I had heard it all, I guess not. Modern medicine is saving many,many pups who never stood a chance 25 years ago. Early breeders did not bottle and tube feed..the pups either were strong enough to nurse or died. We have discovered we can save many pups with suppliments..is this good or bad? I feel it is good, but I would not keep one for breeding. JMO No one tried to repair a cleft or disemboweled pup, same with repaired knees, hernia and livers. Yorkies with open fontenels are regularly used for breeding now..(smalls males). You can create a solid look with linebreeding and like to like, I see no need to inbreed with so many genetic problems now. I inbred Rothby and got liver shunt..so I took my Rothby and bred to others who had that look, but unrelated..the type I love is still there, but not the inbreeding. |

| I know someone who had two yorkies from the same breeder, The breeder said that the dogs were not realted. So she breed them. The bitch had 4 beautiful pups. One died on day 1. The second died on day 2. The third had to be put down because she did not had a rectum. And the fourth survived. The vet said it was probably because they were closely related, So, In my opinion, why take the chance.

Sister & Brother is not accepted through AKC. This combination causes serious problems. This is info I learned years ago not to do.

| Jerry, I would only need one copy..you are the only one who would buy it! LOL anyway, remember I said what I know would only fill a couple pages..LOL I am going to ask AKC about BRO/SIS breeding, if they accept it...I have seen this inbreeding on peds. If AKC does not register this breeding, the unreputable breeder can name another stud as sire, they can ask a friend for their studs numbers..DNA means nothing unless it is checked and when is the last time you heard a pet owner paying to find out..rarely? |
