In-Breeding %

Is that what she does when I'm working? Sends emails to her facebook friends. What a life that dog has...

 

Bentley has an email address! It is [email protected]. He sends me emails to ask for things, and to make me laugh. He is a very thoughtful dog.

 

I would hope to think that love had something to do with that breeding, not just breeding for personality and physical perfection

It is completely different with people, than animals. For many reasons.

 

There are many books on love I am sure you can find them yourself

In regards to me providing you with scientific publications...I don't have time to do your research for you, but if this is something that interests you, by all means do some research on human chromosomes and canine chromosomes.

 

I think the difference between inbreeding with humans and dogs are developed mental disabilities. I'm not positive on this, but I'm pretty sure if you breed brother/sister or father/daughter dogs, you're not likely to get a dog with mental disabilites. You probably do have an increased chance of passing on bad genes like thyroid issues, skin disease, etc.

As far humans, the chances of producing a child, who is mentally disabled and/or has down syndrome is very likely.

 

Well.....

I, like I said before, do not have the time for providing scientific publications. But, as a scientist myself, I see your curiousity, and I encourage you, Sheltieche, to do some research. And share with us! It would be great.

As far as your objection to my statement, "it completely different with humans than animals, for many reasons," I actually said, "It is completely different with people, than animals. For many reasons" just so we are clear, and I am quoted correctly.

And here are my reasons for making this statement:

When I decided to "mate" with my husband and have children it was because I fell in love with him as a person, his ideals, his morals, and I personally was attracted to him. I did NOT get a piece of paper that listed his family tree, his genetic testing results, his hip x-rays, his obedience degrees (or in human case his college degrees), nor his ch title in front of his name. I also did not mate with him only because my animal instincts told me to do so.

I meant nothing more than what is stated above.

Dogs that are linebred, are done so based on the quality of their genes. Not because one dog fell in love with anothers cousin

I hope this made my statement a little clearer to you all
