    Yes I couldnt agree more mate. No need for all this broadcasting everything you shoot. Anybody who doesnt like the sound of Rooks shouldnt live in the countryside. Very good at controlling leather jackets.

    When I said "messing about" I meant they are not killing vermin with a zeal like the old keepers did. People do shoot for fun, and who has the right to say they should not. Why did you start shooting? Was it to protect some other animal that you favour or was it for sport?. I mean why do you really want to shoot Pigeons off a standing crop or a Magpie threatening a Thrushes nest? Are you having sport doing that, are you having fun? I would be interested to hear what kind of shooting that it is you do? You say game shooting doesnt make sense or you question the sense in Game shooting for fun! W

    Line breeding comes later. You fix traits first.

    Thanks for that. the ones we are running now are similar to 5/8 3/8 and plenty quick enough to catch rabbits. Ive never had a Saluki bullx.

    I think we are are all a bit sick of constantly obeying all the rules. We are hated by the antis and they will never stop. I agree about constant bragging though, and thats just a human condition. Ive planted about 22,000 Oaks in the last 2 years with a good success rate. Ive shot a few Jays but I think its balanced out. I think shooting people in this country on the hole are sensible and put quite a lot back. Vermin control is nothing like it used to be, the old keepers would kill vermin relentlessly and were good at it. Todays lads are just messing for fun most of the time. I live on a shoot

    I use a clear complete wood treatment from ronseal or cuprinol with a woodworm prevention in it, although Ive just noticed its doubled in price.

    Only an idiot would call them useless. I really admire them. I love to watch them running a Hare. A good one is pure class.They are the ultimate running machine, theres no doubt about that. I was only making the point its horses for courses (pardon the pun) I wasnt trying to be insulting.

    Substitute greater yields for greater performance, stamina, gameness etc. Thats what we are talking about. An improving scale. If you have a great dog in your kennel then you use him at stud to various bitches and he also produces, then you have yourself a prepotent animal. King of dogs! because hes probably DD for the important traits. If you carry on from there outcrossing the offspring all you will be doing is watering down and confusing the original blood of the great dog you had. The purpose of inbreeding is to fix or purify traits. In other words stop the masking of recessives with domin

    Unless they meet summat that bites back eh?

    Pures are inbred today as they always were. The KC was under massive political pressure to alter its regulations, but the inbreeding goes on, as does unauthorised outcrossing.

    haha the Borgia's did alright on it.

    Yes they were Jerseys, well spotted. Mercury was an outstanding sire. The gene pool was closed by the authorities and matings had to be approved. No foreign cattle were allowed on the Island except for slaughter. Butter production increased with inbreeding and sires very successful. I think the gene pool has now been opened and related blood (highly inbred at the time of export)is now being used having been outcrossed in America and Australia. Some of the Islands farmers however refuse for now to enter the outcross scheme, but eventually they will all outcross I suppose.

    When my dogs are extinct I'll let you know?
  14. jeemes
    How do you think the still births occur because of inbreeding?
  15. jeemes
    Do you think there stock have always been outcrossed?
  16. jeemes
    Thanks but how does a dogs genes differ from any other animals apart from them being of a dog or any other animal. How does breeding in produce recessive traits?
  17. jeemes
    All closely bred

    When you say "its just what happens" Wheres your evidence? I mean apart from studies on google I mean. I am certainly not saying you can breed indefinitely in. The idea is to fix traits or putting it another way to make the animal double dominant for the desired traits mental or physical. So on that basis if you had a dog that was DD for all the traits you wanted in your dog, say courage, drive, speed,stamina,intelligence plus physically sound, great feet, etc etc He would be a prepotent animal that would mask any recessive faults in bitches put to him and likely to produce good offspring.
  19. jeemes
    That exactly the point. You have great stock and you dont want to loose it.

    Thats the trouble with trying to gain knowledge in 5 minutes on Google. You'll never learn anything mate, your too busy trying to sound clever.
  21. jeemes
    GOOGLE ?
  22. jeemes
    Dogs, horses, cows, sheep, chickens, Racing pigeons etc have all at some time been bred tight to fix traits. Look up Robert Bakewell in agriculture and you can find out for yourself how inbreeding has shaped the livestock of today.

    Its just the way you interpret everything, you are like a child. Stop trying to score points, we all know both parents have to have the same recessive, but in a limited gene pool everytime you cull a fault you are cleansing the gene pool. Isnt that obvious? I didnt say it could happen in one go. The fault may not be evident in another sibling because it is masked by a pure dominant, but never the less you have still lessened the chance of it appearing. Most physical faults are recessive.
  24. jeemes
    And every time you remove these faults from a breeding program you are removing them from the strain. Ive seen a few Greyhounds with very bad mouths but it didnt effect there track work.

    You cant have a discussion with an idiot, and we both know you are one. I see the laughing face is back in strength. You cant shake him off can you. You ruin most threads with your attention seeking, but you havnt much to say really apart from knocking other peoples dogs. No real knowledge or experience of breeding. Youd better keep in with your mates though eh? lick lick lick arse.. or they might not sell ££££ you any more pups.
