How does breeding in produce recessive traits? A dogs genes differ completely just as every species of animals genes differ from one another. As i mentioned previously, in your example of herd animals and their breeding programs, such inbreeding obviously results in greater yeilds but is that really healthy for the species in the long run? Inbreeding will transfer recessive traits which every animal has, and breeding 2 exact dogs together from the same litter won't give you improvement genetically, perhaps back to the father in the first instance, but brother sister and then back to the father seems to me as setting yourself back straight from the beginning. I would never considering buying a pup from a same litter mating, that's just me, but I'm sure most would be the same. Was the dog you used to start, a lurcher in the first place or was it a first X bull greyhound? Just out of interest mate. 1 Quote Link to post

Substitute greater yields for greater performance, stamina, gameness etc. Thats what we are talking about. An improving scale. If you have a great dog in your kennel then you use him at stud to various bitches and he also produces, then you have yourself a prepotent animal. King of dogs! because hes probably DD for the important traits. If you carry on from there outcrossing the offspring all you will be doing is watering down and confusing the original blood of the great dog you had. The purpose of inbreeding is to fix or purify traits. In other words stop the masking of recessives with dominant genes. Have you ever bred two very good dogs together and wondered why the pups they produced were a disappointment? It happens all the time. Its down to genes not being Double dominant, in other words, undesirable recessives. You could breed the same pair again and get a good one in the litter or maybe not, as Mchull says "varying results". Hes got it in one. What you are doing with inbreeding is cutting out the waste and preserving the good, making it simpler. Theres a bit more to it than that obviously and you have to be careful and test dogs but Im just making the point. There shouldnt be a fast rule about which relation are bred,the main thing is both parents need to be very healthy. Im afraid when you buy dogs in you dont know what your getting usually. You only know what you are told. Best to breed your own imo. All my dogs are half cross. 8 Quote Link to post

Your making what sounds like a convincing argument on a few points there so fair enough. Have never ran a firstx or half cross, only 3/8 5/8 and 1/4 bull greyhounds aswell as saluki bull greyhounds over the years. Just mentioning for the contribution factor 1 Quote Link to post
