-- Traits Passed On (http://forums.ukcdogs.com/showthread.php?threadid=928524272)

Ok I will tell you what you already know lol. All of us with a lot of mileage on us usually have a line of dogs we like usually because we had one out of that line that was a dog of a lifetime. Then when it is gone our natural tendency is to double up on that line to try to get that dog again with limited success usually. So then you watch another dog kinda sorta a little of the same blood but might be out of a sire you don’t like. But it is dominantly throwing the traits you like so you take your line and mix it with that line and you have revived the traits you like.



What I am saying is sometimes what works on paper don’t work in the woods.

The Yadkinriver dogs I have seen had all the hustle you could ask for, nothing lazy about them, might have been on the other side if you had lazy dogs. Lol. Dave

Mr. Lambert

Do you honestly think ANYONE can give you an accurate answer to your question. My answer was based on paper regarding percentages, but TAR made an excellent point in that what works on paper, may not work in the woods. How many breeders do you know that have had enough generations off the same dog and has the knowledge to know for sure that any of the known traits were still getting passed down from that dog? ALL you can expect with your question is guestimates, or unfounded opinions. Dave

Mr Richards, just because you don't know doesn't mean that there aren't a lot of breeders out there that do have a practical knowledge of the subject. I guess that they just don't like to post on the Forum.

What about the Clover dog breeders? Can you ever breed out that head and color?

How many generations does it take to breed the tree out of Sacket Jr/Rat Attack dogs? And is keeping certain traits that you like in a line easier than breeding one that you don't like out?

Mr. Lambert

I certainly don't know the answers, let me know if you find someone that does. I give you credit, these are good questions and I would love to hear the thoughts of some experienced breeders regarding these questions. Hope it isn't some big secret they will not share, could make a man rich if he can figure these things out. Dave

Mr. Lambert/Tim Osborne

Both of you have been breeding dogs for years now, Why don't you guys share your thoughts on these questions being asked, after several generations of the same line of dogs, you guys should be able to address these questions as to your own experiences. Are your desirable traits being passed on and how many generations are you seeing them in, is it a trait and not learned behavior? Is it dominant or recessive? Any bad traits that you have tried to eliminate? Have you been successful in eliminating them and if so, how many generations did it take? Does anything popup in New generations that were not seen in previous generations? Have you been able to put any new traits in your breeding stock? Have you lost any desirable traits in the newest generations? Do you breed for improvement of the breed? How successful have you been in improving the breed? If so, how many generations did it take? Are you getting better dogs with each newer generation or are the dogs not as good as prior generations? Answer these questions based on your own experiences that way they should be factual. Thank you guys in advance. Dave

Tarbaby, everybody has had as many failures as success's. You just have to remember the failures but concentrate on the success. One real good one will make up for a lot of failures.

No one can do an hour job in 5 minutes, now some folks may take an hour to do a five minute job. Why would you implicate me in a conspiracy theory to tear you apart? I have never been anything but complimentary about you and your dogs. I actually thought that you could shed some light on Mr. Lambert questions and those that I proposed, based on your own breeding experiences. You had no problem in commenting sarcastically on my post, but I was being respectful to you. I assure you that I am in no way wanting to belittle your breeding program and have never said anything to suggest that, in fact the opposite. I may have misjudged you, I actually thought you were s stand up guy. Dave

A man's character is always being tested by everything we do and say, you are no exception, nor am I. You absolutely had no basis for making the post you made suggesting that I would just use anything you say to make unfounded or negative comments about you or your breeding program. You definitely know by all of my compliments regarding your dogs that I am a fan. Why you made your post indicating otherwise says a lot about you, don't pull my character into any response you make regarding this matter. You have to accept the responsibility of your own statements, statements that were made without foundation. You did not hurt my feelings, but you made a statement about yourself. I stand by my comments. Dave

How many generations does a male or female pass their traits on? I know that the sire and dam each only pass 50% of their genetic makeup to their pups. So their grand pups only have 25% of their genetic makeup and their great grandpups only have 12.5% of their genetic makeup. So how far down the line do y'all think that you can see traits from a dog's ancestor?
