recent thoughts on tight line breeding?

Breeder Talk
  • Hi, I'm not a breeder nor an expert about canine breeding, and just an owner of pet Basenjis, but I recently learned a little more about the breeding process of reputable Basenji breeders: Line breeding/tight line breeding. I see a long discussion thread on this forum from back in 2007, but that's been quite a long time ago, and I'm hoping to see comments from breeders in more recent times and lines of thinking. Thanks in advance.

  • Not a breeder. I am curious as well. I am surprised that no one has responded to your question since there are quite a few breeders who belong to the Forums. To help avoid buying a dog or pup that has been too tightly line-bred you can research breeder lines though the Zande database. https://pedigrees.zandebasenjis.com/

  • @senjisilly just now saw your reply. Thanks for the pedigree website. I knew about it and it’s a great resource.

    @Kipawa: I think most people will agree that neutering a dog does not spoil their spirit or temperament. More often, spaying or neutering results in a more calm, balanced animal. I agree, but we have lots of people on the Forum from over the "pond" and they have most different ideas about spay/neuter, different culture, different ideas…. and that is their right.... sometimes we all will need to agree to disagree..

    @satieo: I was just curious, I saw the thread about ages of bitches but what about males is/should there be a cut off age for them? Obviously they shouldn't be younger than 2 for proper testing. No cut off age… as long as they are potent... I used a 14yr old with one of my litters and it was a natural cover.
