Goose...I was going back and reviewing what has been said and I just stopped...we have about exhausted prenatal, diet and genetic modifications...
Gene modification and purification is alive and well...it is called evolution
here is what I do believe on the kid that could eat those peppers...some sort of cell modifications took place that have permanently changed him...this can happen in other scenarios for the better or for the worse...I know a man that is on disability because of mental impairment and it is permanent and it is because his mom was an alcoholic...so if these folks are to have children one day will they be affected by it? I would say yes through learned behavior...by being around the parents...
When breeding better I will have to say these are minor details when looking at the big picture....I brought this up. because in my opinion it can play a part in breeding better dogs...taking it to a higher level and I strongly believe in it...not that it makes a big difference but when we want the very best these are other things that we can do...
Hybrid Vigor within a breed...it will be hard breeding consistently good to great dogs on account there are too many variables we don't readily see...that is one reason why there are so many culls out there...when done right there should be very few...
below is something to think about...
to keep it very simple I will use red and black because it is visual and anyone knows what black and red are at a glance...
if you are wanting all reds and you have to breed this red dog to a black dog to get reds then this is what will happen...
1. you could fail right of the bat and have all black puppies...
2. you could have both reds and blacks...cull all the blacks and you are in business...
same dogs but blacks are the desired hunting dogs...it is a little more complicated but very doable...
1.you could have all black pups but...
2.the black pups you keep and breed could throw a few reds now and then...
hunting traits are even more complicated...one wrong breeding and we can have a slight to major setback...
goose...you have a gift for writing and retaining what you read...
the only way I could do it is to have the internet open and copy and paste...lol
there is no doubt in my mind you will breed what you want...
There’s more than one way to skin a cat, some start at the head and others at the ass...
What’s the point in reading something if you can’t or don’t retain it to be able to put it to use in the real world away from the keyboard...
