Inbreeding In Dogs. For breeders, it is a useful way of fixing traits in a breed—the pedigrees of some exhibition dogs show that. Dog breeders use inbreeding to increase the odds of having puppies with desired traits.
They computed inbreeding from pedigree data for 5, 10, and all generations in the database. Our dachshund is what it is because of the limited gene pool. Unfortunately, some breeders have become lazy buns and don’t want to be bothered with the hassle of looking for the appropriate dogs to breed with.
