HI Carolyn my question was: 1> What is the issue with out cross breeding based on your previous post? 2. How is that any worse than the close line breeding over the last 20 years that has perhaps created health issues in our breed? Those are my questions:) Thank you Steven Segerwinds Home of Asgards Contezza In a message dated 9/8/2010 11:41:01 A.M.

We typically linebreed more often than anything else......if that is the question? But I'm not clear on what "comment" you are asking about?

Have you not line bred with your Males, we can look at pedigrees and see line breeding, so is that wrong? How many generations have Andretti in the pedigree, or Welove duchiens R-man or GV Ucker. as I look at those pedigrees I would say line breedingf? Correct me please if I am wrong:) Steven Segerwinds Home of Asgard's Contezza In a message dated 9/8/2010 9:58:57 A.M. Central Daylight Time, _marhaven@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (mailto:marhaven@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) writes: Not that I know of. My point is not that you or I or anyone else should inbreed or linebreed or outcross.......but that I think it's a little unfair to insist that a breeder that does all of the above should grow a litter out until they are middle age to prove they are all fine and healthy when they do a close linebreeding because only outcrosses are healthy sound litters..............? If that were the case.....none of us would ever inbreed or closely linebreed. So I have a question for you........ Do you think a breeder that knows more about the lines they are using for a close breeding is MORE accountable than a breeder that does numerous outcrosses......?

Is or are out cross breedings any worse than all of the "inbreeding" that has occurred in/with our breed over the last 20 years?? I am asking a legitimate question here and I open to anyone's opinion here on the list. Thanks Steven Segerwinds Home of Asgard's Contezza In a message dated 9/8/2010 9:14:13 A.M.
