BLOOD,GENES..... WORK......WHERE????????

[tinytiger 875]

Line breeding or inbreeding is a small piece of the breeding jigsaw. Testing them in the field is the biggest piece of that jigsaw. In the hands of a clever man inbreeding/line breeding can maintain that family of terriers he wants to keep.

I inbreed my terriers so that after a few generations my terriers are still 1/2 or 1/4 the terriers that to me were my idea of good working terriers.

To compare the way the working terrier was bred to the pit bull is silly.

The yanks deserve ALL the credit for the pit bull not the immigrants they got the dogs off. The Americans worked on a numbers game (Leo Kinnard fed 500 dogs at one time) and they tested and culled hard. Inbreeding was often done because a man didn't want to or was to proud to leave his own yard. Again the clever ones inbred and it worked for some.

A big yard of terriers is 9 or 10.

And to use Middleton as an example of keeping a line of workers.....come on.

 

 

500 pitbuls-there must have been some feeding in them..an interesting thread

Again the last one would be fed the first would be hungry again,haha,500 pitbulls f**k me how would you get around them all to even see what you had let alone to start training and conditioning them.

It takes a team of people breeding for a common goal.

Well then if the debates coming to a close can someone ,anyone answer me this one question?

 

1. IF I HAVE ,FOR EXAMPLE,A LITTER OF PUPS AND MY GRANNY GOT ONE,AND THE OTHER 6 WENT TO WORKING HOMES AND WHERE EXCEPTIONAL BUT ALL WHERE KILLED BEFORE BEING BRED OFF.BUT MY GRANNY WON T LET ME WORK HER PET.DOES THAT PUP HOLD THE SAME BLOOD AND GENETIC INFO AS THE OTHER PUPS.

IF SO WHY NOT BREED OF IT IF NOT WHY DOES IT NOT HOLD THAT INFO.

 

SO BACK TO THE ORIGINAL QUESTION .

I'd say you were breeding too hard a line...

some good stuff on here .

imo its all about stacking trats good and bad brother to sister should only be used to bring bad trats to the surfice and if no bad trats come up your on the money.but i dont breed from them its only a breeding tool to check my line.imo its still inbreed

i also use a rare breeding program to make the blood line grater and stop bottel necks.

the keys are keep it in a family gene pool.and the key is culling and if it is a good worker but has any defect no mater how small dont breed from it.

also with line breeding (i meen line breeding not inbreeding)you need to keep good records of all dogs not just whats in your yard but anything that has come out of it. as best you can so if somthing dose come up in your line you can be on top of it and find where it has come from and stop it in its tracks.

when line breeding your dubbling up trats good and bad not just good i think this is the main thing people forget

atb bpbd and happy hunting
