Okay that what gets me, as the math end of breeding don't natch up to abilty to point out/reproduce traits, as being 100%, I don't know if what I am saying makes any sense, Forget about breeds just for a minute, you had 2 dogs for your baseline that all have similiar traits, styles, (not talking about appearance) but good physical attributes that also contribute to hunting abilities as stamina, ect., If you were trying to create a dog, that absolute what you wanted (close to perfect in your opinion) Can you do it in seven generations to reproduce consistant offspring that match the original two specimens? if the can consistant reproduce the same thing then can you create a "new breed" in 7 generations, is point where I am trying to get too?
You could very well create your own breed but the throwbacks from previous generations will always show up and you would have to also cull those traits if they were unwanted. The single most common throwback is when you watch a dog lay and it "smashes the grass back" before laying, This trait has been passed down for 1000's of generations and been ignored so it has become "built in".
Boarninja- I enjoy the conversation and oppurtunity to discuss dogs with everyone and in no way am trying to prove myself as much as bring up different scenerios, If my postings have "ruffled your feathers" I just want to say it wasn't posted with that intent.
