cheers.

But how do we know we don't all inbreed?.lets say my dog litters 8 puppies and I sell them in various locations, what if bro n sis from same source meet somehow and breed without both owners knowing..
Cos that must have happened countless times
I have a 1 yr female great Dane who will soon be ready for mating..prob is I avent see any good male except her father who is a champion breed..
The owner of the father says that if they mate and the puppies come out, they will have 75% of their fathers genes..
What do you think?

mystery1979:
pls I am really curious now,does it mean that if one imports a male and a female at the same time from same parents,at adulthood,one can not breed them just because they came from the same source even if there is no unwanted trait in both of them.oga dem in d house shud clarify us on dis particular issue abeg

coolsegun2002:

Me I no be oga ooo like dem prodigee nd chuky234...I just wan answer u...I think the issue is u are adviced to avoid it..just incase there a trait that recessive(ie not showing physically) ...its not like u would automatically produce Defective puppies if u in-breed...its just an advice...wear a rubber when having sexx...doesn't mean if don't wear u must catch an STD..u get??

kunlesufyan:
Seen it happen to a friend's Samoyed and the puppies were not even strong enough to suck the mother breast milk..they all died within a week.

Prodeegee:


This is what happens...I'll explain further...

I have a different opinion from the "NL experts"..
Experts have been know to intentionally in bred dogs to retain certain features they want to keep... Most of the great breeds resulted from inbreeding..

However, with repeated inbreeding their are certain disadvantages from the "limited gene pool".. Inbreeding tend to act like a magnifier, magnify the positive features, it also magnifies the negative features.. hip dysplasia, infertility etc

My advice is kind of contrary to all the information...
If you can't get any pedigree Great Dane to cross with your female, I will mate them just once... I will take the risk that few of the pups might have the negative genes but I will have some pups that will have the same genes of the pedigree father or better genes self(Magnifyer)..... it's practically a lottery..

But I doubt if any study or evidence shows that inbreeding leads to any appreciable deaths of young pups or "pup not strong enough to suck" or stillbirths...

The greatest risk is in what is called repeated in breeding which should never be done...

Finally, the largest finest GSD we ever had while growing up was fathered by a father and daughter, that liter had 3 pups.. one pup was born crippled

My point exactly

chucky234:
The truth is many of the exotic breed we have today were as a result of inbreeding by mating closely related dogs which helps to maintain or keep pool of gene together but in modern times things have changed.
In the past people weren't bothered if just one puppy survive from liters of 13 but today its a big deal.
To be on the safer side on the long run avoid inbreeding your dogs.

art1f3:


its always important for people to ask questions regarding the origin of the dogs before breeding . Only people who have little or no knowledge of breeding dogs would mate their dogs anyhow.

Well please dont mate your dog with the father. It would have terrible consequences.
The puppies may either have stunted growth, mental challenge, physical challenge, sometimes mutation, and the popular dreaded dog disease "hip dysplasia".
Please never mate them.

chucky234:
Inbreeding results in an increased likelihood of
undesirable traits being inherited into the
subsequent offspring, and this heightens the
chances of recessive mutations occurring.
The potential for undesirable and unforeseen
Several hereditary conditions and illnesses which can also be inherited by dogs only occur if the pups inherit the recessive gene from both parents, and the likelihood of them having two parents with the recessive gene which then causes the potential problem in the pup is of course much higher if the two parents are closely related in the first place.
Conditions such as hip dysplasia and patella
luxation are just two of the many potential
congenital defects and hereditary conditions that can occur from inbreeding, inbreeding is not advisable as the disadvantages outweigh the advantages.
