Can't she reported for animal cruelty and bad breeding practices? I just lost my little girl (in the pic) she had a soft palate defect probably because of inbreeding. I reported the breeder to the BBB. Since they are CKC, I am told that registry does not inspect breeders.
| There are many breeders that inbreed their animals. There is nothing wrong with that! I do not think that "using" the inbreeding makes that breeder a bad breeder. I have noticed that many show and responsible breeders have animals that were inbred and the offspring are competing in the show ring as well. However, what I believe is that there are also many people (backyard breeders and puppy mills ) that do not know how to read a pedigree and they may breed animals that are carrying diseases and with the inbreeding there is more chance to have puppies with the same disease. Just my 2 cents of words on this matter!! Nevertheless, I am not a breeder and I do not know that much about breedings however I can recognize good Yorkies and those Yorkies to me do not looks good at all!!:thumbdown
I am including a note from a book I just purchased in Bulgaria. I am Bulgarian but I live in San Francesco. The book is written by the famous breeder Sabrina Parisi of Dolce Sinfonia and right now it is a best seller here. It is called "Passport of a champion" and here the chapter about inbreeding (I learned a lot buy readin it! I will try to translate it exacly word by word for your guys.):
"Why breeders linebreed or inbreed? Most champion's breeders do linebreeding to some extent. This is done to bring about breed improvement by combining animals not only similar in their characteristics and qualities, but also by narrowing the pedigree to a few closely related lines of descent from outstanding individuals. Linebreeding thus narrows down to the selection of the individual ancestor one chooses to emulate.
If someone's goal is to intensify and preserve the characteristics of his/her top producing and/or champion female, she would attempt an inbreeding of mother to son, thus multiplying the bloodline of the dam. To intensify the bloodline of the sire, she would mate him to his best daughter. Mating brother to sister should preserve the bloodlines from both sire and dam equally, but is only really successful if the combination of the parents has proved to be exceptionally successful in producing the ideal combination of desired characteristics. If someone's study pedigrees and bloodlines for long, he/she will see some definite patterns in most all pedigrees that are linebred. Other than those mentioned above, the other patterns most frequently seen are grandfather to granddaughter, grandfather to double granddaughter, son to granddaughter and son t double granddaughter, grandson to granddaughter, and grandson to double granddaughter.
When researching a pedigree for breeding purposes, someone should look for an animal that is inbred or linebred on a great animal. In selecting to breed, this person should, therefore, linebreed on the individual in her dog's pedigree that most closely approaches her ideal - whether that be a dog or a bitch. Remember, if someone linebreed or inbreed on a mediocre or unhealthy dog, he/she will only produce more mediocrity and unhealty offspring! Only those animals that are of *superior and outstanding* quality should be selected for inbreeding or linebreeding. :animal36 |
