 The inbreeding or 
                                                                                    The specter of the inbreeding   We read regularly in 
dogs announces: "Puppys to sell, no inbreeding "Then The buyers 
are anxious to have a puppy  issued of an inbreeding, because its 
presented to the public as a default and as a dangerous thing...As they don’t 
really which could be the danger to have a inbreeding puppy than they 
want absolutely to avoid the case... For the
 majority of breeders of dogs and 
for many passionates, inbreeding  is and and stays  a specter.  The 
reasons
 against it are nervousness, Anxiety, a subject more fragile a 
front of diseases, primarily of The Disease “Maladie de Carré”, the weakness 
General, poor vitality, difficulties to educate correctly the dog,
 And so 
and....
 These are certainly the potential consequences of the inbreeding 
when basic precautions taught by genetics
 elementary rules are not 
followed. But when the inbreeding marriages are done with care and 
know-how, The consequences of inbreeding can be inverse: Constitution more 
robust, get-up-and-go,
 nervous resistance, Disease resistance, 
fertility, easier to educate. Only choice of reproductive
 influence the 
results of a inbreeding marriage in a positive or negative sense. We have to 
clarify what we
 heard by large inbreeding - we think about  a 
close inbreeding or incestuous inbreeding when animals have
 very close 
blood relations. As between brothers and Sisters, father and daughter, 
mother and son. The
 difference is only a question of degrees. Geneticians distinguish some degrees or coefficient of
 inbreeding. The 
mating between brother and sister give an inbreeding coefficient  of 25% 
                                                                                and 
 between half and
 Half-sisters an inbreeding  of  only 2.5%.
 The inbreeding coefficient correspond to the middle of the 
relationship degree of the reproductive. For the dogs breeder, these 
coefficients have no practical sense.

                     In contrary with all 
the things we can  read on the net. Written by unqualified personnes, dog 
inbreeding can be the best thing we can meet. But we must work to 
develop our knowledges ... it’s important to go ahead, work on precise 
bloodlines and exploit all
 their possibilities .... You should know that 
the inbreeding  is The best way to determine the qualities
 of a bloodline 
But also its defaults.
 The best way to eradicate Defaults in a breed: to 
use some bloodlines, which have proved their worth in terms of quality.
 To reproduce two dogs origins "lambda" is to love the risk ... Not 
enough  knowledge of their respective lines and especially
 No 
guarantees compatibility between the different bloodlines … Anyway all that 
we can say is a nonsense because if we have a look on  the genealogical 
history of each bloodline which composes the Skye terrier breed, they have 
all in their
 ancestors the same bloodlines and included in the back of 
their pedigree some common great names (Merrymount, Meerend, De Luchar, 
Riceleine etc.…) So consequently, they are all more or less all issued 
of inbreeding marriage with different degrees ... The greatest kennel 
believe seriously in inbreeding benefits  to ameliorate  breeds and their results 
                                                                speak for themselves ... FINNSKY Viceroy is, 
what we call in dog language, a "tracer" (influent reproductive). It transmits Most of his 
qualities and has reproduced  none of
 Venial serious default that could 
damaged the breed  or influence on  the longevity of the puppy ... He 
is the father, Grandfather and even the grand-grandfather of many 
Champions around the world. All his children are confirmed and healthy. 
He had a Impressive exhibition honors list, was judged by many different judges 
from several nationalities. The best proof is to remind its brilliant 
prestation  in the exhibition ( Diamond Jubile of the Skye Terrier Club) 
which took place directly on the Isle of Skye (85 dogs engaged) and
 obtain 
the best titles in despite of its old age...The good and the beautiful 
associates ...
 A lot of people are interested in all over the world 
                                                                by 
having one of its descendant, the proof that they are sure to obtain some 
goods dogs even if I’m working a lot in inbreeding. A breeder who use to 
work in inbreeding knows perfectly that the litters will count less 
puppies than a litter without any notion of in-breeding. They are not so 
interested by winning a lot of money, no
 they are more interested to try to 
ameliorate the breed. These dogs have constitutions absolutely normal 
and are not more sick, more crazy than the others puppies without 
inbreeding. They don’t have a shorter life than the others. inbreeding dogs 
have no more
 luck to be crazy  than the others, if their parents are 
not. Inbreeding dogs  are not more epileptic than the others, it should 
                                                                be so easy if

                                                                There is no 
                                                                much risk for 
                                                                an inbreeding 
                                                                puppy to be 
                                                                infected by 
                                                                this disease 
                                                                than an other, there was no more risk of developing this 
default on an inbreeding dog, if it doesn’t have it in its
 origins. The 
biggest geneticians and veterinarians agree the breeder which choose to 
work in inbreeding because  it shows this bloodlines  knowledge that he 
uses, and therefore his work ... Anyway, we, breeders, we do what we can 
and try to give our best to try to ameliorate the breed but we are human and 
we can do mistakes... We dream about our next dog marriage and sometimes 
we are disappointed, but if we do not try some different  experiences, we 
could certainly not advance and try to ameliorate the breed we love ...
 In 
                                                                19 years of breeding, I never had to constat some 
                                                                prejudicial default 
on my bloodline (thanks to the breeder who sold me some dogs to arrive at 
this result)  no  grave genetic recessive defaults on the 
puppies produced. They do not die younger  and do not develop more health 
problems Than others ... However, one thing is sure: they are well in 
their mind, too much maybe because they are a little bit too spoiled!!!! 
(none of my personal dogs, the ones I’ve educate myself or the ones I kept in 
my kennel has bitten a human or one Congener (without reason) unless 
normal conditions or clumsiness of a Human as a fall of  the examining 
table), and I
 estimate that I arrived to breed some pleasant dogs with 
real  Solid morphologies, dark and lively eyes , Complete dentitions, 
beautiful necks, elegance, fine lines, good hind and forequarters, dresses 
full of  health Pigmented and excellent, no problems of feet position Or 
dysphasia etc.
 But then why could we have so many defaults and defect 
among kings and queens? Because Simply that their bloodlines were not so Free 
of defects that we would have thought, and that Inbreeding 
has unfortunately uncovered and fixed the Genetic defects of which they 
were carrying. All our dogs were detected in the laboratory Antagène in 
Searching for genetic diseases, and they are unharmed of  all the listed 
diseases known...
 They say to you  that in the nature, animals  avoid by 
wild instinct to keep in their group some subject too close in 
relationship... It’s
 an heresy ... the dominant hunts the other 
dominant because in a group there is only one dominant place... In 
Zoos they use to separate the animals to avoid the inbreeding because they 
are too closely involved  to know their bloodline and to dare to practice 
the inbreeding and they don’t want to take any risk by ignorance. They use to 
work with wild animals who could be dangerous and to fix a 
character default given by the inbreeding is a too big risk to take. But 
don’t dream if the animals could have the choice, they won’t mind to 
practice the inbreeding!!!!! I can assure you that our Viceroy does no 
difference between its own daughters and  the other bitches. Do not 
overestimate our animals, they follow their animal instinct.
 So if 
tomorrow someone try to convince you that a kennel might be dangerous because 
it practices the in-breeding, you can be sure that you’ve met the devil's 
advocate, that tries to persuade you that
 The inbreeding is bad for a breed, 
take  time to read books on the subject, to talk with experts, and 
you will find that
 In 95% of cases, inbreeding is a good thing 
recognized for the amelioration  of breeds…
 But ... it’s always 
more easy to criticize things we don’t know, always more easy to avoid the 
things which afraid us...
 "Courage, run away!!!!!"
