Breeders often talk about inbreeding and outcrossing as though they were the only possibilities and generally with negative comments about the latter. There are other possibiliti

The strength of the sire is the power of the dam. I could use up 50,000 fancy words telling you how to become a top breeder but the whole truth is in that one simple sentence. If this were a textbook, it would lead you through step-by-step lessons designed to build layer upon layer of knowledge so that you would really understand the opening sentence. None of you are beginners so you need only to read that sentence and follow along here.

WHAT IS A BREED? To put the question more precisely, what are the necessary conditions that enable us to say with conviction, "this group of animals constitutes a distinct breed?"

AS WE FACE the millennium, the one problem which most concerns the entire purebred dog fancy is genetic defects. Breeders used to worry about overshot/undershot bite and cryptorchi

We try to breed the perfect working dog, and we are rather successful, but the resulting dogs are heterogeneous, often despised by those who like the beautiful dog and a homogeneous breed. We try to breed the perfect standard dog and we sometimes nearly obtain it, but its working qualities are not the very best to lousy (yes, I know and recognize there are so many exceptions to these rules , so please hopefully you do not get inflamed as before at the long beauty versus working ability debate).
