Breedia Dog Forum
My advice would be to find a geneticist who would be willing to help. If you have a broad enough gene base, you should be able to make steps...
Not wholly correct Wolfie. The reason I joined this thread was because of the comment - This now clearly misleading and possibly not in the best...
Whatever the breeding of this dog, it's important that the information goes into the archives of the breed for future reference. As this does seem...
Just done a quick search A daughter of Sulin Shimber is scored - Recall Naja at Wolfsean Hips 49:51 total 100 The COI on her pedigree is...
I would think it is possible that excessive excercise at a young age could cause this amount of hip damage but there doesn't seem to be any proof of...
I know it is popular belief that breeding blue to blue continuously will further dilute the colour but there is no genetic basis to this. It's also...
Yes, reading this Dharkwolf, I can see now I have been a bit hasty with some of my criticism...sorry. Thanks for the explanation and a very...
I would just like to comment again on the method of calculating wolf % in pedigrees as I think this an important point and if Dharkwolf, you have...
Found a really good site by Ray Coppinger - http://www.grapevine.net/~wolf2dog/dnaid.htm

I can’t find anywhere that von Stephanitz has actually said that (though I haven’t read the whole book!) but knowing Dr Willis, I will rely on him...
Hi Per, welcome to Dogsey! The second link you have posted; excepts from Geo Horowitz book. You have unfortunately cropped off a very...
Hi Jess Yes, I agree with you here. Starting a new breed these days, with all the knowledge we have on genetics, should provide a great...
Liz, I do think you are confused as to what a gene pool is. It is the combination of all the different 'genes' of the dogs within the breed. The...
Forgive me if I've been totally misled Liz but it says on the club website that the breed "started out as a crossbred."...
Thanks Mys. Thats interesting, the mean of those scores is 11 which is much more like the expected. I've also found a website where it says two...
If there is another record base of hip scores that aren't listed with the BVA then possibly yes, hips status has been monitored. But that leaves the...
Variation in type is no bad thing. It's present in all breeds to some degree. I think to carry on the road of trying to improve aesthetics like...
