inbreeding is it ok to mate brother and sister from the same litter? |
I am not a breeder or close, but don't think it is okay. |
NO :thumbdown |
NO!!!!! I am not a breeder but i know that this is not a good idea. |
Go to amazon.com and order Anne Seranne's book, The Joy of Breeding Your Own Show Dog. It explains inbreeding and when it is a good idea and when it is not. Inbreeding is used to strengthen a trait in a particular pup you're trying to produce. Dams and sires that have the same recessive gene shouldn't be breed because you'd be producing pups with the recessive gene. The book explains it really well and is a great investment if you're really wanting to know about breeding. Lisa |
inbreeding Thanks to all for your answers |
article Article in the lastest Yorkshire Terrier Magazine... "Inbreeding was once a valuable tool in shaping today's breed. As these have now reached a high degree of homogeneity, it has lost its importance and turned into a fatal and disastrous habit"... This is an excellent article and would recommend any breeder write for a copy of this months issue.. |
Pat: Thanks for the heads up on the article! Lisa |
I'm not a breeder either but I was got into a heated thread about this subject as it applied to horses and there were a lot of hurt feelings. I don't think it is a good thing. |

Father And Daughter? Is it ok to breed father and daughter? My parents use to have springer spaniels and we use to breed the mother and son. I have a male yorkie and I want to breed him to get another baby girl. I'm unsure if I am even going to breed them after I get another one. All I want is two. I am probably going to have Caesar fixed after I breed him once. I have been told that he is the perfect male to breed, and not to have him fixed, but I don't want him to start spraying. He is 3.3 lbs. fully grown at 9 months old. But back to my question....Is it ok to breed father and daughter? |
NO! Father to daughter and mother to son but NOT brother/sister! |
A brother to sister breeding is true inbreeding. It reduces the number of individuals who contribute to the litter's genetic make up by 50%. It is a breeding strategy that has been used successfully in the past to imprint "type" or a certain look, etc. in a line. It brings the very best traits as well as the very worst traits to the phenotype where we can see them. This is not a wise breeding strategy for the novice or small hobby breeder. JMHO CJ |
