Brother to sister mating is it to close,
tinytiger replied to whisperingeye's topic in Lurchers & Running Dogs
Apparently the healthiest possible kids a person can have is with their 3rd cousin.I'm from a rural village in Ireland,most people there would be at least that much related to me(2 lines though ,farmers and cottiers/working class,no outcrossing between them until around 1990.) -

Its at 65%(roughly) in the pedigree Jeemes put up,(and no new blood added since). How many generations is it being worked out over? (Makes a big difference) -

Wild herd animals, one sire, lots of dams. Carnivorous animals tend to pair up. Must be some reason for it. -

Jerseys? Maybe they were a landrace long before he went near them? -

Take a total outcross, the number of possible combinations of chromosomes is almost 550 billion (39 multiplied by itself 39 times).putting a brother to a sister would half that,but at the same time you may have inherited the bad genes/faults from both sides and every time you breed the line/cross into itself ,you run the risk of dodgy recessive genes meeting their counterpart..also true for desirable traits though. -

Very ,very unpredictable. Can go very bad or very good. -

I read an interview with the greyhound breeder/trainer Nick Savva once, said basically the same thing.(He wouldn't go closer than 4 x4) -

4 group 1 runners from 100 foals is considered above average in that game though.3 x 3 would be considered very close, but linebreeding closer to Galileo and his dam urban sea seems to be working macswiney,masar etc -

If a lot of people breed they're dogs that way,then a lot of winners will be bred that way. In Serbia, most winners seem to be a lot more outcrossed. There seems to be a direct correlation between low breeding coefficient (outcrosses) and career earnings in greyhounds. The superstar racer/stud dog of modern times ,Fernando bale doesn't have any dog in common on both sides of his pedigree until the 6th generation back. -
Maybe a trial run for a future biological war?

Are these things you would have thought about 3 years ago? (Or things anyone thought about)
-
A Bassett griffon vendeen or something like that?
-
A full k.c Bassett or some kind of working type?
