Breeding Strategies:
To help maintain a diverse gene pool and reduce limiting future genetics- consider breeding your dog “up and away” from any genetic issues that it may have. Instead of not breeding it at all. The smaller the gene pool becomes, the more the genetic risks increase. Try to breed “affecteds” and “carriers” to ”clears” .Genetic testing may help you breed carriers to carriers and look for clears in the next generation. I am always in the process of breeding up and away from undesirable traits and towards the “total perfect” dog. If you believe your dog has a talent, trait, instinct, conformation, intelligence, personality, etc that is worthy of the breed; then you have my permission to try to keep that for future generations to enjoy.
