recent thoughts on tight line breeding?

Breeder Talk
  • H

    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/

    @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..

    True Arlene good temperament and has passed all health tests,moves soundly the way a Basenji should are of utmost importance.It´s no good if the dog stacks perfectly when he´ll fall apart whilst gaiting.We have also the problem with too straight upperarms and crappy fronts which are sooo difficult to breed in one´s their gone.

    Based solely on these photos, I would rank Bella and Dean the highest but Clark and Flash are certainly not far behind. This is a fabulous litter. I love them all.
