womble 1 nut 491 Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 This is a question for the lads that have been about a bit and have first hand experience of breeding terriers solely for work.What are your thoughts on a full brother to sister mating? Quote Link to post
swagboy 9 Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 it's not the dun thing but can be dun if you no a Knuth about the line going back 7/8 gen what you got to remember you dumbbell up on the good jeans and the bad. i have seen breeding's like this be for and not a Knuth research was dun on the line and the pup's had to be separated at 6 weeks as thy was go-on in the head and killing each other and by a year old there was only 2 left out of 5. if it was me i would go [bANNED TEXT] out to a dog that ant nothing to do with u'r bitch then the pup out of them then pout it back over the brother to u'r bitch but this can still be to close in sum way's atb swag Quote Link to post

If we're being pedantic it's actually many, many times more likely. If there are quality sires of a similar type available then brother to sister matings make no sense, too risky for limited potential reward. Quote Link to post

I'm not thinking of doing this by the way I'm just genuinely interested. Quote Link to post
Francentey-FTB 29 Posted November 9, 2011 Report Share Posted November 9, 2011 If it was me, I would use a uncle or half brother of dam, or even grandsire if he was still about.. i am all for breeding close, but your exaggerrating good and bad to a much higher level as mentioned 2 Quote Link to post

It's normally used to set an unusual and valuable trait that you can't find elsewhere. Brother and sister matings have the highest possible coefficient of inbreeding. Recessive genes need two copies to be expressed so the chances that a brother and sister will hold one copy each and pass them onto their offspring is far higher than with two less closely related dogs. As most rare diseases are recessive you're taking a risk. Fertility, size and immune system strength can also be lost so it should only ever be done if there's are extremely good reasons and there's no decent alternative. Quote Link to post
Griz 89 Posted November 9, 2011 Report Share Posted November 9, 2011 In order for inbreeding and close linebreeding to be successful you need to have a through knowledge of ancestors well back in the pedigree to be able to assess their traits and the true quality of the line, then strict evaluated culling must be used to retain desireable traits and eliminate unwanted ones.........An undertaking that requires a very objective approach and intelligent planning.....Not for the faint of heart, requiring perseverance and commitment.
