Hi Steven;
Sorry......I've been gone most of the day........slow on responding.
I don't believe I have any "issue"  with outcross breeding....or even said 
that???
We do outcross most of the time.....linebreed almost as much and VERY
seldom inbreed!!

In regard to the last 20 years of inbreeding causing health issues in our 
breed....do you
mean by breeders in general ............or do you mean just  me???    <G>
In case you mean jjust me....<G>....we have not inbred for 20 years and we have 
never
developed any health issues in our lines.    Are our lines perfect......"fraid 
not"....<G> 
We are careful to never knowingly utilize any dog with any known problem norany 
known 
problem in their litter.    So far we have been blessed with vigorous  healthy 
dogs with no 
long term health problems.     Unfortunately yes we have gotten a mega pup 
occasionally
over the years.......a truly horrific experience!!     We never ever saw one 
until we bred to 
Sundance.    There are almost no pedigrees free of Sundance.   Is he to blame 
for every
mega pup.......I seriously doubt it.   Too many dogs before him in HIS pedigree.
We never inbreed unless it is with two dogs we have bred and know a lot about 
and then
only once in a while.......and for reasons we believe to be valid.
We never do ANY breeding without a lot of worrying and studying.   
Who doesn't???
NOW.....if your question about  "20 yrs  of inbreeding"  is in regard to 
breeders all over this
Nation....unlike some I cannot address what other breeders do or do not do.     
But I certainly 
do not know of one health issue that inbreeding can "cause"???     
Inbreeding simply cannot "create genes"  that are not already there!!
Inbreeding utilizes just the genetic bank of the two dogs you are 
breeding.....and if you don't
bring in new ones    ( good or bad  ).....you are just using the same gene pool 
AGAIN...and
if the inbreeding is on linebred dogs...( and it usually is )  then it is an 
even smaller gene pool!
The question is......is it a good gene pool..............or a swamp!   <G>

  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

  I'm not sure what the question is?
  It is almost impossible to do a total outcross any more in the US with  
  Sundance
  in just about every pedigree?
  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?

  Hi Carolyn I think any& all breeders need to be   aware of the  issues you 
  bring up here, I have a question on your  comment on line breeding?  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:)

  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......?

  OK  Carolyn I have a  question??   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

  Carolyn if you have a  4   generation  pedigree that hasn't produced any  
  issues,  forward  it  to me please.
