? about Line Breeding

Line breeding is noting but a tool , inbreeding is noting but a tool . It is when people that don't understand how to use these tools things go wrong and sometimes in inbreeding still goes wrong with someone that knows what is going on .

Line breeding is breeding with in a family of dogs to keep the genetics and traits going strong and also knowing what little outs to use to keep the traits of your family of dogs strong and right.

Inbreeding is done to try and capture certain gene pools of a certain dog are trying to recreate and ole dog n the back of the pedigree some were with inbreeding dogs that go directly back to him are her. But many things can go wrong and you can screw up your whole yard in no time at all if you don't know what you are looking at.

After a family of dogs gets so tightly bred the genes have no room to breath so to speak and become stale it might look great on paper saying you have the purest of the pure but in real life it is pure chit . When this happens u can take that pure inbred dog and make a direct out cross and when the pups come out you will never even be able to tell you put a complete cross in those dogs they are slow, their conformation is not right , they have no lung power , they have no speed , no stamina and you are rubbing your head saying damn that cross must not have worked well it was not the cross it was because your inbred dog is so highly pure are inbred that when you made the cross his gene pool completely dominated the out crosses gene pool and you cannot even see the out crossed gene pool any were .

Even tho on paper this says the dogs are a 50/50 cross they are not . Why you say, because gene pools and genetics don't know paper and what happen was your inbred dog was so pure bred his gene pools dominated the whole thing and what you really have in real life is dogs that are still 7/8's your inbred dog gene pool !

Most people will number 2 can this and write it off as a cross that didn't work and which it didn't but what you have to do to fix it is you will have to take those dogs that are really 7/8's bred your pure dog even tho th paper says they are 50/50 crosses and cross them again on a pure out . What happens now is with this cross is you are starting to break down your pure dogs gene pool and now this time you might actually come out with some true 50/50 cross even tho you have had to cross two times to get there even tho the paper work will now show your family bred dogs are only in there 25 percent are a 1/4 lol and will show that you now have a 3/4 out crossed dogs and a 1/4 your pure blood !

Which if your family dog your pure dog that you first started out with if his gene pool was that pure and that stale you may indeed still have some 3/4 pure dogs in the liter with only a 1/4 out cross.

Inbreeding is tricky and even tho the paper work says this a breeder has to know what he is looking at . In this type of breeding I have learned over the years a breeder should trust his eyes and not paper !

I could go on for days on this subject cause I been there.

I know there are some that will say damn this man likes to write a book but there is no easy way to explain this in just a few words when you have seen so much over a 30 year period !
