does inbreeding affect temperment

4months? goodness, I've been resercing this breed for about 7 years and im still a newbie
I think you have a long way to go.

About the gamebred with dogs, each dog is diffrent you cant just base it upon a few comments. My gamebred bitch LOVES kids, but isnt so good with adults.

 

Have a 13 and a 6 year old that's been around them their entire lives, never had a problem.

 

thanks coach, give me some examples of who is doing it the best right now

 

no doubt miss pitt this i know, and this is what im doing learningasking the right questions and just learn more and more, we are all beginners at some point

 

Inbreeding does affect the temperment of a dog,, you inbreed to try to bring out more of a certain trait that one ceertain dog has, say you got a really dog agressive dogs you inbreed to try in keep certain traits of those said dogs and try to get rid of certain traits you dislike. but you also suffer the risk inbreed come with it like problems with genetics,, deformaties or even dead loss at worst situations,, you take risk with everything you do but ppl that know what they are doing can bring out the true nature of a apbt

 

does inbreeding affect ur dogs health? if it does wat is the proper way to inbreed? tnx.

 

If you inbreed dogs that have health problems to start you will end up getting more because the gene pool is too close.... its easier to explain if u look at the English royalty in the 1800's they kept breeding to other english royalty who already had hemophilia sisters and brothers with each other such and because they kept doing that for so long alot of there sons would have the disease and if they didnt have it they were more likely that there sons would because both of the parent had the trait for it you can inbreed but eventually you will need to breed with another dog off another yard even by the same line, just through a different dog, when you keep inbreeding you enhance alot of the desirable traits but also alot of traits from said dog that are not desirable

 

that was the royal family and not these dogs. the royal families only had a slight few other royal families to go to and mate with. they were also inbreeding for hundreds of years. humans and dogs are 2 different things to worry about. theres nothing wrong with inbreeding these dogs thats how bloodlines are established and kept pure, and how good traits are preserved. its not going to make the dog go ballistic on you one of these days and eat your whole familly and steal your life savings lol or come out with a eye ball on its forhead lol. green like a ninjaturtle or green like the hulk no. in inbreeding their has to a reason and with these dogs its to keep that attitude presearved in them. with that said you should know that these dogs have an inbreed desire to get to another dog and not humans.

 

that makes since but as gentics play it doesnt u breed to many close together thats how u get undesirable traits thats what i meant by my analogy if there are unwated traits in the dogs u r linebreeding they will become more prominent as time goes on

 

just busting your chopps a bit, i understood what you were saying before i even posted my first comment. i just hope no one out there is breeding a three leg dog to a one eyed croked mouth dog and line breeding them lol. we can only imagine what those would look like. i bet one would be green and steal my money after a few generations lol.

 

HAHA very well ye

 

Inbreeding is a useful tool and when done properly can produce outstanding results. If the temperament of the dogs you are breeding are already showing undesirable traits like Ha then those dogs should not be bred period. It also helps to know what's behind the dogs your breeding if there are any HA dogs within your dogs linage it is very possible for those traits to be passed on. Typically Ha in this breed is an automatic cull by most dog men breeding game dogs but you know some slip through the cracks evey now and then that shouldn't but they do most likely because they are good performers. I still think it goes against the breeds nature regardless HA Apbt's should be laid to rest.

 

makaz

everyone on here has different thoughts no weather a game dog is the dog you would give free reign with the kids

me personally i believe that kids and game dogs should stay separate

these dogs are sporting dogs they work hard play hard and love hard

sometimes it may be to hard for the kids

 

Oh btw I have an inbred hound from working lines that has an outstanding temperament she is the result of a brother to sister breeding. The only health issues I have with her is she has extremely sensitive prone skin from a weakened immune system which I contribue to how inbred she is. I did not do this breeding she was acquired through a friend but other than sensitive skin and a slight overbite I have no other issues with her.

She is also very good with my kids they are 10 and 12 I taught my kids from a young age how to handle these dogs they are also never left unsupervised because as a parent its the responsible thing to do. Kids in general need to be taught how to respect and act around animals period bulldogs are no exception.

 

Just some pics of my dogs with my kids

My son with one of our dogs and both of these dogs are working bred dogs




My 10 year old with our dog so yes it can be done with well trained kids lol









Hope you don't mind me sharing pics I just wanted you to see it's very possible for working bred dogs to be handled by kids when parents are doing their job teaching their kids how to interact with their dogs.

 

That's a myth, alot of good dogs were HA and were never culled and that HA runs deep in more than a few lines today because of it.

 

Bottom line is It's never a good idea to leave children alone and unsupervised with any dog!

 

And when it comes to inbreeding some lines have a tendency to throw out shyer more fear oriented biters than others.
You'll always get your mean, don't like anyone, type dogs in most all lines! There all individuals! Some are like Marry Popins, While I've seen others like Charles Manson!
It's a myth to me about how these dogs are NEVER sposed to be human aggesive! To A point I agree with most veiws about mean aggressive true Manbiters and how to not put that shit back into a line and Linebreed off a dog like that no matter how good and game the said dog was doing what they were bred to do!
But on the flip side I can understand why some great breeders of the past has done just that by breeding to a true man biter and basing A line off them (Bullyson) for example Or even Zebo.
There has been a hell of a lot more than those two who would take a chunk out of someone that has been bred and were key dogs in certain lines!
I have dogs that don't like strangers but are as friendly as could be to family and people with no bad intents! One thing about this breed is they have a knack for sizing up intentions of good and bad . And Usually are intelligent enough to react accordingly to any situation.

 

The edit feature on this site sucks!

But back to inbreeding and man biters I feel In inbred on known man biters you will have a higher percentage of potential biters!
And there is no game bred line that don't have a man biter in their genetic makeup somewhere back in the wood pile!
