Comment to 'Canine genetics - (this may take some time to read,'
  • No problem. I would be highly surprised if any book out there talks about how having two related individuals in a canine's pedigree close up (within 3 generations) wouldn't be optimal breeding practices because of an inabilty to identify sources of strengths and weaknesses. Or how half-siblings or parrent-offspring breedings would be a better practice than full-sibling breedings as a result of fuccussing on a single individual at one time within a developing line/strain. Does that book discuss such things? If so, that would be the first I have heard of these thoughts being published anywhere.
