Thread: My thoughts in Line Breeding.

Science is useful in breeding,but it does have its limitations.there is a term,-'the art of breeding', because while it requires a knowledge of genetics, it also requires a knowledge of the sire and dam's lines,intuition etc.,a host of factors.there is no way you can absolutely manage genetic outcomes,rather you select from the results.some very undesirable genes have been removed by this policy. and when i say genes,its a lot more complex than that;to try and understand the full complexities does not really have much help in practical breeding.
With genetic mapping maybe we will be able to splice up the perfect dog. what would be the fun in that?
