Please keep posting content like this. As an aspiring dog man and breeder this information is invaluable.

Hello, Lee. I have working Dobermans and your videos are very informative. I’d love to see more of these in the future. Thank you and God bless!

Once again, thanks for taking the time for breaking this down the way you did, very much appreciated.

Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us Lee. Very informative

The white boards back I love it

Thankyou for sharing.

Very interesting video and well laid out. You earned my sub👍

Outstanding article 👏🏻

Thank you sir

❤

Great video! , In the future can you do a video on genes in regards to HD . I have hip tested my breeding dogs for years with mostly good results but also with some not so great hip scores . Can you talk more in details about environmental impacts and genes coming together from breeding pairs throwing mixed hip results. Are their any new genetics test in the works that can help identify the HD genes so breeders can select breeding pairs more on science then an individual’s x ray . Thank you !

Amen🙏

💯

well made video. Good content, as always.

Thank you for providing this information. I find these videos very helpful and would love to see more of them. If you have a course on genetics and breeding, I would be very interested. I know you’re not a Doberman breeder but with your knowledge I’d like to ask you what your thoughts are on DCM in the Doberman breed. If you’re dealing with a breed predisposed to having a particular disease, what are ways you would suggest going forward with breeding towards a healthy line while keeping working ability at the top of the list as well? I like your dogs by the way. I had Chinaman dogs many years ago and was quite fond of them and the breed in general. Now I currently just have Dobermans. I’m focusing on a breeding program that brings back the desired original traits of the Doberman breed but would of course like to strive towards a healthy line as well. Any advice is greatly appreciated. God bless!

What's your opinion on that Embark type testing? How reliable do you think it is? And if it is how would you recommend using it and would you recommend it? I'm guessing its no substitute for knowing your dogs,but could it ever be useful,or is it just people thinking we are smarter than we really are?

Some DNA tests are accurate, some are a joke. Check the credibility of the organization you use.

Wisdom panel was the best one I found from much research and investigation I had my corso tested for a batch of things

Once you keep the best pups from an inbreeding and the line breeding wouldn’t an issue be reintroduced if you go back to the main sire? As you were trying to breed out negative traits/health problems, would you use a vetted outcross or use a dog from further down the main line who’s already cleaned up?

Depends on the quality of the dog, its ability, its health, the health of the offspring, and the pedigree.

Would you consider snow nose an unhealthy gene? Is it dominant? Can’t find any studies on it.

If light enough, it will lack protection from sunlight and may lead to an increased chance of cancer. I would not worry about it if it a pet house dog, but if it is an outdoor dog, yeah I would correct it.

Fantastic video. You explained a complicated topic simple. I have a question though : in humans inbreeding has caused defects and mental retardation of various degrees, wouldn't it also happen if the genes become too constrained in dogs? You mentioned in your previous video that if the litters decrease in number then inbreeding is too high?

Inbreeding is an issue when the individuals being bred carry recessive genetic disorders/diseases. Humans are not selectively bred, nor are individuals with genetic disorders removed from the breeding population, which can be done with canines. Litter size can decline in some cases because of excessive homozygosity; however, even when that does happen, one can still find and or produce healthy individuals from the viable offspring. These remaining individuals may very well be clear of genetic disorders if this process occurs repeatedly over time. That said, after an outcross, one can bring in new disorders again. This is a matter of patience, professionalism, knowledge, selection, etc...all come into play. One is not going to improve the gene pool accidentally. It requires work...and the more one knows and does, the more successful they will eventually be. As stated in the previous video you are referring to (link to it at the end of this video), you will hear me refer to "Adam and Eve," who were made perfect and therefore lacked genetic defect. In THAT CASE, inbreeding would not be an issue...but this is no longer the case, and as result, inbreeding with humans today is a MAJOR NO-NO!. This is because today every human is statistically likely to carry between 3-5 recessive genetic diseases. As stated in that video, outcrossing is the way to go with humans because humans are not going to get rid of those recessive diseases in humans because of two primary reasons...1) eugenics with humans is immoral and also because 2) even if it wasn't, human reproduction rate is too slow to survive that process given the number of recessive diseases in the human population. That said, we are also not selectively bred to perform specific tasks.

@Vasquimho, this video is about dogs so I think we should stick to that. But since Eugenics was mentioned, I thought I'd touch upon this. Eugenics was a topic tried in the 1930's in NAZI Germany. They thought about breeding minor menschen, or minor people, such as Poles and Russians and other Slavs and "uber menschen" or superior race, which would be northern people and Germans and other Aryan races. They thought they could apply selective breeding of top German scientists to strong Slavic women to carry their children, to produce an intelligent and physically strong human. They wanted to cull all mental retards from reproducing, stop Blacks and Jews and Gypsies from reproduction and felt that the nation state is made of 'pure blooded" people whose blood and soil must occasionally be purged for the greater good of the nation state. They thought of the nation state almost like a living organism. It takes us back to a dark time in our history, when madmen thought they could engineer superior humans through artificial selection at the control of the Third Reich and they wanted to control the world and have their ideas take over. They wanted to cull, or exterminate, all those they felt were inferior humans: in gas ovens. I suggest you google Eugenics in the 1930's and 1920 and the horrible ideas they expressed. Eugenics was viewed as a viable science not only in NAZI Germany but actually here as well in the United States. So pervasive were the ideas. It is immoral to have Eugenics in humans.

Do the hereditary traits weaken? as the generations?? You would like to retain the characteristics of a third generation of a proven dog for your pup. What is the chance of those specific qualities, especially if the generation in between have no longer proven themselves?

👌👏🏻🤝🫡👊🏻

Brilliant information. I'm doing a father daughter mating next with my working patterdale terrier's. I know the parents grandparents and great grandparents and have worked over 20 related dogs so I know the individuals and the family history well. My question is, if the father daughter mating is successful and I produce a bitch that works at a very high level, can I then mate her back to her dam's brother?

@VonGontaHaus

you already have a dog that has 75% in the parent to child breeding, so why inbreed even further? The offspring of this mating will be highly prepotent and there is no need to inbreed further, because if you are trying to create a prepotent dog, you will accomplish that in the first mating alone.

You can. Obviously But I think I'd be more interesting to breed a male with the grand-dam. Or from those lines. It the initial cross clicked, breeding a dog supposedly more prepotent should work.
