Even if, like oversized dobermans, are technically outside the breed standard, as long as they're "purebred", then the AKC has been teaching people for years that it's OK. Pureblood is first, looks are second, health is always last. The average pet buyer, if they try to educate themselves, finds a lot of propaganda from the AKC, and from AKC breeders. <br /><br />Technically, there's nothing stopping individual breed clubs from opening their studbooks for outcrossing. It's not crazy, it's the way dog breeding has been done for thousands of years, but the AKC is steeped in 19th century ideals of "pureness", which goes against science and common sense. To "fix" dobermans, you'd have to get a lot of individual breeders to open their eyes and come into the 20th century (and eventually the 21st century). A good way to start is for the AKC to amend its policies.adminhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04605428127471399424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8209843.post-34354327171361218822014-07-30T10:57:54.202-07:002014-07-30T10:57:54.202-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Sarah Leeannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13085906977595080202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8209843.post-66287068810502620412014-06-16T17:47:12.790-07:002014-06-16T17:47:12.790-07:00Great post!

(Assuming there's a DNA test or the disease has been proven to be a simple recessive.) Remember that you are never eliminating just ONE gene, you are eliminating a whole passel of them when you do not breed a dog.<br /><br />A proper breeding strategy using carriers would be to breed a carrier to a clear (dog with no copies of the gene.) This will produce a litter where each pup has a 50% chance of being a carrier. Usually the pups are tested and clear pups are chosen to continue breeding from, replacing carriers in the population with clears.<br /><br />You can even use an AFFECTED dog (two copies of the recessive gene) to produce unaffected puppies. An affected dog bred to a clear will produce a litter where all the puppies are carriers, but NONE are affected. These puppies can then be bred to a clear. This would be a somewhat extreme thing to do, but it can be done and done safely.<br /><br />http://www.ashgi.org/home-page/genetics-info/testing-screening-programs/of-babies-bathwater-dna-tests<br />Jesshttp://desertwindhounds.com/noreply@blogger.com
