Breedia Dog Forum
Evidence of a diminished gene pool would be hereditary disorders common to a particular breed. I don't know about FCRs or whether they have any...
Me too. Really wish I could take him but it's just not the right time. I'm sure he'll get a home quickly.
I met a couple when I worked at a boarding kennel. They were super - calm, intelligent and friendly - even in kennels! I'd love to know more about...
I'm sure there would be some that would be capable of doing that kind of work, but I wouldn't choose one on the basis that it possibly could....
First of all, I'm not targetting wolfdogs, I'm just interested in where you've got your facts. Not all inherited disorders work on simple modes of...
Can I ask what you're implying by that? Becasue there is not a genetic test for HD (which isn't going to happen for a while, if at all, as it's...
It is genetic but can be influenced by trauma, in which case, the score would likely be uneven. It has been proven in many studies that breeding...
Just an aside, you have to go back way more than 5 generations - 10 as a minimum. You may only see the same names cropping up a few times in 5...
It's good to see. The people that have a bad word to say seem to be those who've had bad experiences, failing to see the bigger picture.
There's Wayne Rooney, some WAG and some others I think (it shows the wall of lame on the link).
Lots of good advice already - it's definitely a good idea to check out these things beforehand. I would check the parents pedigrees to make sure...
I find this really interesting. If the boxer was 'my' breed, I might feel differently, but as I see it, the KC slightly relaxing its rules to...
I personally don't like the idea of money as a motivation for breeding, even if it's not the sole reason. I see the same people advertising time and...
I think education is the key! I'm so, so glad you didn't take my post the wrong way. I don't like upsetting people and thought, if you replied, you...
You've been lucky with your girls. The problem with dogs4us and other pet shops is not so much the conditions at the outlet, but the conditions that...
Congratulations! They certainly look fab.
Oh yes - totally possible. It's a random process - just the probability of one is greater than the other.
Even if this is a wind up: The Dogs Trust site says 9000 unclaimed dogs were humanely euthanised by local authorities alone last year. I bet a...
Depends how much the traits have been 'diluted' over time I suppose. Of course, some dogs might be only a generation away from a fighting dog, but...
Speculation with a bit of sexism added in for good measure. Bet you're older than me too. Have you any scans of old papers? Old photos, articles,...
