undisputed 1,664 Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 (edited) Ok serious question here. How the hell do folk work out percentages of what's in their dog's? I get the half x and 3/4 x and the one that comes after that....but then it seems to decend into unknown territory where you would need Carol feckin Voderman to work it out. I've seen some strange percentages written up in here and it appears to be an exact science but I was under the impression that genetics didn't work like that. So can someone explain how you work it out and what difference it makes after you get by the one after the 3/4 x. :stupid: Edited April 13, 2009 by undisputed Quote Link to post Share on other sites

stabba 10,745 Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 All boils down to fractions mate. a basic knowledge of maths is all thats needed lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
undisputed 1,664 Posted April 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 This all depends on knowing what's in your dog I take it and a good knowledge of maths....or does it start to take another road when....say there's been two 1/2 x's in the mix at some point doe's that mean that theres a chance of a throwback to a full x at some point.....my head is getting sore now!
