The bigger the mix to start with the higher the hybrid vigour .That’s to say the wider the gene mix the less likely bad traits have been FIXED by inbreeding .Doubling up on faults is what causes them to surface I’m told .

It's hard to know if that's not in there there's always going to be the odd fault here and there is a crazy world and the dog world is crazier look at all these examples of pedigree dogs out there now a far fall from what the actual breed was a sorry site due to selective inbreeding where unfortunately faults were actually bred into those dogs crying shame 1 Quote Link to post
foxdropper 17,092 Posted December 21, 2020 Report Share Posted December 21, 2020 When I started I had the crazy idea that everybody I knew in the game needed at least one so I breed litters at a silly rate .5-6 litters a year from the very best bitches to the same dog .Never knew it was called back breeding but makes sense . Only ever bred one litter from any bitch at age 3-4 UNLESS she was exceptional and took another at around 6-7 . When you find you are breeding for the hell of it it’s time to think why and I soon only bred for myself giving away excess . Quote Link to post
