Weaving Your Pedigrees: In, Out or Line
Brought to you by EZwhelp
Every breeding is a thread in a tapestry that began long before us, and if we do our job well, it will continue long after us. The decisions we make are what hold the breed together.
In this episode of the Better Breeder Roundtable, Kathy Rust is joined by two of the sport’s most respected master breeders, Bill Shelton (Coventry Pembroke Welsh Corgis) and Doug Johnson (Clussexx Clumber, Sussex, & English Toy Spaniels), along with Lisa Braun (Mischief Papillons & Miniature American Shepherds), for an unfiltered discussion on how linebreeding, inbreeding, and outcrossing fit together inside a lasting breeding program.
Bill and Doug share decades of experience on tightening pedigrees, forcing good genes forward, weaving two linebred families together, and knowing when a breeding has truly succeeded. They also delve into the mindset of the master breeder. Lisa brings the newer-breeder perspective and asks the questions many developing breeders are afraid to ask out loud.
