Linebreeding advice

If you want the grandsire then breed to the one that is like the grandsire. Breeding, line breeding and in-breeding are all the same. It is all about selection. Breeding the dogs based on their traits is more important than lining up the paperwork. Let the selection of traits be your guide.


A loosely thought out long term plan with your situation would be to breed the 'like traits' and then breed the other female the same way. The paper work will show them to be the same but you, as the breeder will know the differences. From there the two litters can be 1/2 brother-1/2 sistered to make it last forever.


Best of luck. S

 

Not to try to play or words, but successful breeding has nothing to do with breeding. It is all about selection. No means is perfect but selection puts odds in your favor.


Using your example. Chinaman bred to Chinagirl's mom to get Chinagirl and her sister. China Girl is nothing like Chinaman, just like her dam. Her sister is like Chinaman spit her out. If bred to both daughters the paperwork would be identical, the coefficient's would be the same, the inbreeding of father to daughter would stand out but the breeder would know the difference.


Breeding him to his like daughter would be inbreeding on both papers and in reality. Breeding him to the unlike daughter would be a paper inbreeding but in reality it is the same breeding as the breeding that made the two daughters, Chinaman to their dam.


Only the breeder and the 'raiser' of the two females would know which was which. Every Tom, Dick and Harry with access to the peds would see it as an inbreeding.


The kicker is then selecting which way you want to go. As the breeder you are driving the bus and you get to choose the travel route.


Granted defects are going to pop up with in breeding, line breeding and total outcrosses. Selecting for certain traits as well as not selecting because of a certain trait is selection and selection is most important.


If you inbreed on a dog with a lot of defects odds are you will get more dogs with those defects. If you inbreed on dogs without the defects (selection) the odds are more in your favor.


Far more detailed than my explanation, but that is it in a nutshell.

If I inbreed from one generation to the next I like the Uncle-Niece version. My favorite form of breeding dogs is 1/2 brother to 1/2 sister like this one

or this one. With 1/2 bro-1/2sis you can go out and come back with relative ease.
