OK all, don�t want to go down another rat hole, however... :rolleyes:

If I understand the prior posts on how undesirable genes/inbreeding works, then, the opposite must be true: We can (and should) be able to proactively manage for desirable genes. In other animal breeding programs we typically would select only superior breeders and encourage those desirable traits while culling and/or denying the undesirables to breed.

And if that�s true, wouldn�t we LIMIT the breeding stock rather than expand it? Or at least greatly control it for only superior additional genes added to the breeding program?
