How negatively impactful is mixing generations when source breeding?
I'm considering seeing what effects something more like line breeding may have on quality and wondering if anyone has done similar? |

I dont think COI actually impacts quality anymore tbh... |

Good question. I never tried that. I prefer to breed same generations together. Carol |

Amber Crest I agree because I purposely bred some Dalmatians as close as I could just to see. After about 4 generations of sibling breeding etc they got to I think around 35% and breeding those littermates it wouldn't go any higher. However, the quality was still mostly 100 SOP. When I took one of those dogs and bred to a total outcross I got fewer 100 SOP pups. So I don't think COI means anything now, like so many other things. |
