IS THERE A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN INBREEDING AND LINE BREEDING? UNDERSTANDING THE CONTROVERSY.
IT'S CALLED LINE BREEDING WHEN IT WORKS AND INBREEDING WHEN IT DOESN'T....
Here's What The Breeder Mentors have to say........Bijou
Inbreeding, line breeding or outcross breeding choices.In the 2000s online pedigrees and COI programs became readily available to the public. COI stands for Coefficient Of Inbreeding and is the calculation used to determine the level of inbreeding on an individual dog or puppy. The higher the number for COI the closer the dog or puppy was inbred.Public access to this information was met with great enthusiasm, with some Breeders deciding to avoid all Line and inbreeding, equating a litter with a high COI as being an undesirable breeding.
Some breeders decided that knowing the COI on each of your proposed breeding was a valuable tool to consider but that it would not be the deciding factor in doing or not doing a breeding. Some breeders decided that they would construct a breeding, using the COI to find out if the breedingwould be close enough on a common ancestor of merit, to enhance their breeding program, knowing that a higher COI on healthy lines could really bring forth desirable qualities. Online pedigrees and COI programs are a wonderful tool available to breeders, enabling them to make educated choices for their breeding program, however how well the knowledge is used,is limited upon the Breeders knowledge and experience.
Importing dogs or sperm, for the breeding program.The world is a small place thanks to the Internet. Breeders are no longer limited to using dogs or linesthat they can see in the flesh or that is within driving distance. Novice Breeders often are easily impressed by the ability to purchase a dog from "overseas".They feel an imported dog or sperm from a foreign Stud, will impress others and Puppy Buyers.
Experienced Breeders know that "many" European Breeders don't do any health testing on their breeding stock and do not use any European dogs, feeling that they could introduce variety of inherited health problems.Breeders buying foreign dogs are taking a chance that those dogs will pass all health testing and be issue free. Experienced Breeders also know that the "FCI Championship" titles are titles awarded "without" competition. Some breeders felt that the physical appearance of the European stock is too different to what is currently acceptable in North America as "desirable" towards the breed standard, to consider using in their breeding program.
Yet other breeders have decided the smaller more refined Eurpeon stock would help them breed towards a smaller dog.(In Standard Poodles for instance, Moyen or Klein size in 2011 is the latest and greatest trend). Buying dogs or sperm from around the world is an incredible opportunity for breeders to obtain different looks, linesconnections; but how much an import will enhance a breeder's program, is contingent upon the dog's qualities, both Genotype AND Phenotype and of course Health, and not the country that the dog was obtained from.
For Example...
This one breeder bred her females at only a year of age. Bred her males BEFORE they were a year of age.Did NO health testing.....Bred son to mother and daughter to father and did some tight line and in-breedings back on that.COI's were well over 40% She also bred her females back to back on their heats. Bred a number of litters a yearIf you ever want to read about this "BREEDER" look up the World famous Wycliffe Poodles, breeder, Jean Lyle who had the greatest positive impact on our breed to date, with her scientific "Breeding Practices".
