recent thoughts on tight line breeding?

[hamima2]

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.
