Playing with Toys!
Toy Poodles present a bit of a challenge because size is an issue when planning breedings. At times, breeders may opt to breed within a family to offset risk of their toys growing oversize, which is not desirable within their variety of poodle (because it is a DQ). The goal of this test breeding was to look at a potential linebreeding and discuss its strengths and weaknesses using this testing.
Today’s test breeding demonstrates our comparison tool as well as our breed summaries. Within it I discuss both a potential linebreeding and another linebreeding that is not quite so close. Both test breedings look fairly good, though predictably the tighter linebreeding has a slightly higher average IR. Both could be discussed by the owners of the dogs, but are not necessarily breedings that will take place; they have been done for demonstration only.
The linebreeding, all things considered, does not have a high IR when you consider how close the relatives are to one another. Please click here to see the first test breeding’s pedigree
