Chickentrain's Dog Q&A

You mean, could you breed her to her great-great-great grandson?
Well sure. That's simple math. Her son has 50% of her genes. Her grandson, 25%. His son has 12.5. His son has 6.25. And his son, gen 5, has 3.12% of her genes. Breeding dogs that are 3.12% related is certainly an acceptable COI

oh, okayy

 

[chickentrains]

so by the 6th or 7th gen it will be 0% coi?

 

[chickentrains]

you said simple math but i'm literally a idiot

Just keep dividing. You'll never get to zero, but you'll get to functional zero.
6th is 1.56
7th is .78

It halves with every generation

People have kept every breed of dog in an apartment. What matters most of the time is the time you spend with them, and that they get exercise. Cardigan Corgis do fine in apartments so long as they have mental stimulation and several walks.

While there are breeds to definitely, absolutely veto in apartments, Corgis aren't one. Alaskan huskies, LGD breeds, schipperkes (small, but very, VERY barky) and anything that poos over a pound at a time, those are the kinds you don't want in an apartment!

....actually, you don't really want Alaskan huskies or LGDs at all unless you're using them for the job they're bred for. Not all dogs are pets.

Do Schipperkes yip or bark? I did a bit of research on them I don’t think anything said they barked a lot how much is very very barky? anything else important to know about this breed?

I know that some people (carefully) outcross breeds to change the traits.....could the same be done to increase the breeding population? If you crossed Breed A to Breed B, then Back to a different dog of Breed A, over and over, would eventually have purebred Breed A dogs again? Or does that not make any sense to do?
