I certainly think you have to have a degree of confidence in your stock to
perform the breeding. We did.
The old time(Huge opperations) could keep all there experiments so yes to some
degree that is the approach. Thats not quite as easy to do these day's so for
us we were very clear to those that acquired puppies as a result of those
breedings.
My point here Kathy is until genetic tests exist for every malady our breed
suffers from, this is the only tool that will likely tell you if you are
getting it right or not.

OK, here's a question. Are you growing out the entire litters and to what age?
How old is a dog before you are comfortable issues won't crop up...you figure 4
weeks before you notice mega, 4-5 months for UAP, 2-3 years for epilepsy...but
what about toxic gut, GDV, immune problems and DM?????
How old before these "test cases" go into a pet home???
And are you going to wait 6-7 years (about the time you'd be comfortable saying
no incidence of immune disorders, DN etc.) before you breed your boy??? Let's
see, that would make him at least 7 years old.
Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against inbreeding, but when I breed a
litter usually all but one go to companion homes. Should they pay with their
emotions for my experiments?????? Or am I supposed to grow out entire litters
so that I have a clear conscience?

How long do you think people should be in a breed before doing an inbreeding?
How many generations should they have bred?
Just because someone is offering a dog at stud doesn't mean they know enough to
inbreed on it.
And yes, we do it too.
