| Update: Here is the e-mail that I received from the breeder: "I have been raised in breeding and showing dogs all my life. alot of your big breeders will line breed. When you line breed you can get beatiful dogs. I test all my dogs genetics before I breed them. We aslo raise race horses, That is are main bussiness.We line breed on some of them to." MyTrixie does that sounds like he knows what he is doing? Michelle |

| and to be technical about it...there is a difference between linebreeding and inbreeding and it's not usually considered neccessary to inbreed an established breed (like yorkies) by even experienced breeders since there are options to setting traits and this is a high risk choice to make.

| I would like to know how they test the dog's genetics. DNA research info is only able to determine the parentage of a particular dog at this point. There is no widely available data that will isolate certain genes for specific traits or determine the possibility of problematic outcomes. If I am wrong, I would dearly like to know, since to my knowledge DNA is just a hopeful tool on the horizon for breeders of the future.
