if you took 2 rabbits out of a 40 acre block and could test to see how many times they are related what would you think the out come would be ...... if you have problems already in the line it will or can show .... most people think the dogs will be some kind of freaks lol ......i'd bet most of my line bred dogs are more tightly blooded than alot of inbred dogs ....
these three picture top is my old blackie dog second is JR .....blackie is great grandpa top and bottom and the father of JR ....... shad is third out of jr and queen .... blackie is great great grandpa twice and granpa once on his top side and is also great great grandpa twice and grandpa once on teh bottom .......and i just bred shad to his momma and she is blackie top and bottom several times .....
do you see anything wrong with those three dogs ...?
That rabbit thing you just mentioned I have been saying for years. Wild animals don't care about brother, sister, mother, or father. They are oppurtunistic when breeding and sometimes it's the strongest males will breed. Mother nature culls harder than most of us do and she only looks at the bottom line. The offspring has to be smart, fight off parasites and predators, or larger predators, as well as any disease that comes along. The few that survive are resistant to all of the above. It doesn't mean that all will survive but enough will to carry on the species. If they don't overcome they will become extinct.
Then if it is a prey type animal it needs to be alert and fast to survive amongst its natural enemies.
If it is a predator it needs to be fast, strong, and smart enough to catch its natural prey to survive.
Mother nature culls hard to ensure that only the very best are left to reproduce thus ensuring the survival of the species.
By the way, That is some fine looking Parker curs you got there Larry.
