Breeding - The Importance Of The Female Line

[jeemes 3,556]

Just look at the best broods of all time in the greyhound industry,once a dam proven to throw top quality pups,they do so in nearly every litter,regardless of the stud dog,look at west mead Hawks dam as an example,also top breeders in greyhounds hardly ever go back for a repeat mating to a stud dog,even if the litter was top class

If a bitch is pure dominant for all the right genes she will automatically correct corresponding faults in the males put to her.

if that theory was correct why male carried heamophilia gene is not corrected by a female? Ok going down the line of embryo engineering you may be able to remove certain defects. But by rule of thumb , no guarantees of rectifying specific defects in a litter. My question would be if you know a line or a dog or a bitch with specific defects or genetic imbalance why would you breed from it ?

I was talking about traits rather than diseases,and sex related genes.Performance related not illness.
