Actually, it is a mix of science and art. Science does work, but there is one major problem. 99% of the breeders out there aren't willing to do the work. So, most still cling to breeding practices that result in reproduction rates of 10-15% at best, and hoping for a jackpot.
As proof that science does work is the extensive records of the Leader Dogs for the Blind organization and their breeding practices.
If there is a science to breeding, and if it does work, show me the results from that extensive researched, perfectly prepared, formula's in order, scientific cross?
I respect the fact that you are researching in hopes of helping our breed and sport. I just believe it's beyond us. Look at all the avid, big time breeder's in our sport, if their was a science behind it, they would know it, use it, and excel at it. Yet still some crosses make it, some crosses don't. History tells us that not every dog is going to make it. Cull X Cull could produce a top notch dog, Coondog X Cull could produce a top notch dog, Coondog X Coondog could produce a top notch dog, but still getting a whole litter of pups that make it is rare. There is to many different variables that come in to play, even with extensive research it would be to hard to come up with a perfect formula. IMO just have fun and breed responsibly.
