Well said by all, I am never going to keep more than 8 dogs myself so I fall on the end where I'd rather freeze and have it if its not working toss it. And jack I like how you broke down the flip side to my point too. But I personally would still rather breed to jeep because then weirdo and ruckus would've been mine! Well...in a sense anyway.
Actually, it is my belief that Werdo was a better producer than Jeep, dog-for-dog produced.Originally Posted by Wise
Regardless, one thing I can tell you about breeding to the right inbred son of a special dog is that all of the crap in that special dog has been bred out. I will use my own dog Poncho as an example:
Poncho was a genetically prepotent stud and produced a lot of good dogs. He also produced a high-percentage of gameness, across the board, in his litters ... AND YET ... there was a wide disparity in "look," in "type," and in "ability" throughout his litters. By contrast, the highly-inbred U-Nhan-Rha threw "the same dog" much more consistently in his breedings. In other words, while both of them threw good dogs, Uey was much more "genetically purified" than Poncho, and therefore was more reliable in the "type" of dog he threw, whereas Poncho was more random in the "type" he threw.
And that is exactly "why" we inbreed on good studs ... is to purify and refine the "type" ... while keeping all the good traits ... and that is exactly why the right inbred stud dog is better than using the original ... because you keep all the great traits of the original ... and yet get more genetic uniformity ... and therefore more genetic consistency.
