Canine Inherited Disorders Database - Introduction. HUNDDATA. The Ins and Outs of Pedigree Analysis, Genetic Diversity, and Ge. As dog breeders, we engage in genetic "experiments" each time we plan a mating. The type of mating selected should coincide with your goals. To some breeders, determining which traits will appear in the offspring of a mating is like rolling the dice - a combination of luck and chance. For others, producing certain traits involves more skill than luck - the result of careful study and planning.
As breeders, we must understand how we manipulate genes within our breeding stock to produce the kinds of dogs we want. We have to first understand dogs as a species, then dogs as genetic individuals. The species, Canis familiaris, includes all breeds of the domestic dog. Although we can argue that there is little similarity between a Chihuahua and a Saint Bernard, or that established breeds are separate entities among themselves, they all are genetically the same species. Outbreeding brings together two dogs less related than the average for the breed. Pedigree of: "Laurel Hill Braxfield Bilye" THE CAIRN TERRIER PEDIGREE SEARCH. Dogweb.
