Laughing stock, strengthened stock, soup stock.......stock market......whatever it takes.....I could use a little strenghtening.....<G> Carolyn marhaven@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx www.Marhaven.com ----- Original Message ----- From: David Fritsche Sent: Monday, November 24, 2008 9:24 PM Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] RE: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Re: -now inbreeding or outcrosses Are you saying that the commonly held belief that "if you breed from across the pond you will strengthen your stock" is a myth? Dave ........................................................... I don't think we can blame the outcross stud either. Some dogs from across the ocean or across the U.S. and not related at all carry the same genetic flaw we might be trying to rid ourselves of plus carry something totally new to us. There is no guarantee with any breeding. Breeders have to come from "tough stock" themselves. <G> Unfortunately there is no safety net!!
