gnasher16 30,598 Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 I think the confusion comes in with the terminology people use to discuss genetic inheritance......in the truest sense of the word no there is no specific hunting " gene " within dogs just the same as there is no " gameness " gene.....but there most definately is what we call " genetic traits " that are passed on....be it hunting,gameness,curs or whatever......these are not specific genes but are simply the overwhelming influence on genetic inheritance.

droid 11 Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 On cue and your experience of breeding anything for hunting is? Absolutely zero. In other words about the same as your knowledge of genetics. And now I've answered your question, here's mine: Do you believe that there is/are gene/s for 'hunting ability? Thanks for the honest answer, It's a great pity you couldn't reply in similar manner. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Leeview 791 Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 On cue and your experience of breeding anything for hunting is? Absolutely zero. In other words about the same as your knowledge of genetics. And now I've answered your question, here's mine: Do you believe that there is/are gene/s for 'hunting ability? Thanks for the honest answer, so you admit never breeding anything to do with hunting? so my knowledge comes from actually having bred dogs and ferrets for hunting ability, your experience comes from what you've read or been led to believe? Is that right? You in your wisdom have stated there isnt a GENE for hunting ability, so where does the hunting ability come from when you breed? what is it that makes it stand out from others? be it ferret, dog, horse or even racing pigeon why if they all have the same genes are they not equal? I've stated before the case of breeding silver ferrets explain to me please why my first litter silver hobx albino jill produced 7kits 5 silver, 2albino which is an unusual high incidence of silvers IMHO the following year repeat mating exactly same parents produced 8kits 2silver 6albinos how does that work out genetically? same genetics from the parents so why the variation? Y.I.S Leeview I did reply in a similar manner but you chose to avoid answering my questions Y.I.S Leeview Quote Link to post Share on other sites
droid 11 Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 You answered my question with a torrent of other questions. When you're ready for a debate, get back to me. Strikes me your ability to debate is about as advanced as your knowledge of genetics. But it matters not, you have your own agenda on this one, don't you? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Leeview 791 Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 read it again and I stated that you have said "there isnt a GENE for hunting ability" and I've questioned you to explain how it works in your opinion Y.I.S Leeview Quote Link to post Share on other sites
