From: Denise Williams Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] breeding question............... Does anyone have any comments on faults that are very hard to fix, and those that can be fixed/bred for in one or two generations. Denise W. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ From: Carolyn marhaven@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx _www.Marhaven.com_ (http://www.Marhaven.com) ................ I hate the way these crop up and 'haunt' a line ......and seem to be difficult to "fix". We avoid them like the plague........ <G> i.e. Missing teeth, ring tails, bad backs, long weak loins, and weird croups..........YIKES!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I'll add to the list of things - long hocks are hard to correct and short hocks are difficult to find! I love a nice short hock..............and, IMHO, one of the most difficult to correct is a poor shoulder assembly. It's also very easy to lose. I agree with Carolyn that the other things are also hard to breed out, but these are two of my top ones!
