Developing or preserving a line through line-breeding

[@FoxfireCanine]

Finally someone with some science based breeding for behavior 🎉

[@HoneyBadger0704]

Revisiting this video as I find these breeding videos of yours very informative. I have working Dobermans and working quality is above all else for me as well. Thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge.

[@bryanrawls4794]

Thanks for your time and sharing your knowledge with us Lee. Have a good one everybody.

[@anthonymartinez4307]

Very nice dogs when I get a big enough yard I’m getting one of your dogs. I’m glad you have these dogs.

[@zacapps5029]

Thank you for the video Mr. Robinson.

[@4tbkennels]

Thanks for the breakdown...we will be sure to use these tips when we create our GSD bloodline

[@rebekahr.1342]

As always very well expressed… Thanks! For sharing your knowledge🌹

I race homers and this video is a huge help !

[@blackicekck9family379]

I did a half sibling breeding and it was my favorite

[@thelongway365]

Very nice video. Very informative and educational.

Thanks 🙏🏻

[@MotorcityBart]

Talk about right on time. Thanks so much for taking the time to create this content...You really shared some pearls of wisdom with us. I doubt you have the time with everything you have going on. Have you ever thought about getting your Doctorite? Thanks once again.

I am at a point in life where productivity via achievements that impact others are more important than achievements that impact self.

[@blankepiphany4154]

i currently have a border aussie named bandit, and just bought two new females for him to breed, one is a aussiedoodle and one is a roughcollie aussiedoodle mix, lot of similar but different genes, so i can breed half siblings with off spring get the traits i want in that line, and then just throw a chiuaua or something in the mix and make my line a smaller breed, ive always wanted to make my own dog breed, in fifty years i can have something special, i wonder how it would go down if like every 6 generation i just throw something crazy into the mix and then jump back to the old line using that generation, this stuff sounds fun on paper! im excited

[@CharlieTheCaneCorso]

Hi Lee have u seen the nwa cane corso podcast Joe's on a deep dive into genetics and breeding would be a hell of a link up

[@APBT-Bandog]

I have seen a few of their podcasts and I think they do a good job

[@CharlieTheCaneCorso]

When you see a dog that completely stands out from the rest and you think he or she is the perfect dog a supernatural freak of nature exceptional and then you run across something that someone has that's even more exceptional it's a crazy world

[@drklop]

Thank you for another educational video. Curious to hear your opinion on breeds like Dogo Argentino, lighter/smaller Cane Corsos and Presa Canarios, and American Bulldogs; and how you would compare them to American Sentinel.

[@APBT-Bandog]

If I thought any of those breeds were superior to either the American Sentinel or the APBT, I would not bother with the American Sentinel...and while I certainly have no interest in talking down about other breeds of dogs, my honest opinion is both the APBT and the American Sentinel far outperform all the breeds you mentioned for four primary reasons...gameness, athleticism, and heat tolerance, and mental stability.

[@drklop]

@@APBT-Bandog Thank you for the response! Right now we have an Amstaff and we really like him. I'm hoping in a few years we will be able to get one more dog, that is bigger and more capable, so I'm just slowly doing my research on what to get.

[@tonyfox9746]

Do you always base your line on a male?

[@APBT-Bandog]

It is not necessary, it is just easier...as a male can breed more often to multiple females.

[@LuisDaigneau]

I love your videos boss. I study them everyday. I breed French bulldogs but currently looking for a working dog that will be a pet but also guard my family and kennel. Do you have a website where I can see what's you have available or upcoming?

[@APBT-Bandog]

[@risky_.y8137]

I know you have some dogs you recommend as "pet grade", while others are more intense. Which is your goal, to produce pet grade, ultra intense ones or in-between? And what are your current dogs missing, or is it less about missing and more about improving and touching up (if you already are producing your goal but want to improve on a few things)?

[@APBT-Bandog]

I am not interested in "pet grade" animals unless those pets are also apex performers...why, well there is no reason why an apex dog cannot both excel at work and also be a great companion. I have no desire in pets that cannot work. As far as where we are...our animals work exceptionally well in every regard, but one should always try to make the razor sharper and more durable.

[@risky_.y8137]

[@rorydevlin3617]

Thanks

[@HoneyBadger0704]

If you have an online course on genetics and breeding, I’d definitely be interested in taking the course(s).

[@APBT-Bandog]

We will be working on one.

[@ByTheBloodofChrist]

What do I do after I reach my end goal for dog breeding and I have what I want? How do I breed them to get more without inbreeding and without adding fresh DNA from a separate dog breed???

[@tritchie6272]

How come I suspect that your Sorrels line might in someways be an improvement on the original? To me improving the line just seems like something you would end up doing. Another thing I'm still trying to figure out, you don't breed for aesthetics yet the Pitbulls I've seen on your channel are in my opinion the best looking pits I've seen. I'm guessing some kind of weird coincidence, or something.

[@timbowalk]

He improves on them in desired traits hes breedingthem for not the line itself and what he neant about not breeding for looks is he doesn't breed for color his dogs bred for a certain kind of performance so their bodies show the signs of being worked up

[@mrmosbeyexotics3484]

If u breeding correct the dog gon look good

[@APBT-Bandog]

We breed for performance...and listen to the results by selecting those that work the best. The looks falls where it is, and we, like nature, accept those results.

[@erikmurray3661]

No bruh that's how Sorrells dogs look for the most part

[@CharlieTheCaneCorso]

​@@APBT-Bandogselection of substance not selection of superficially nonsense Nature - that which selects

[@ProLifeEnlighten]

Linebreeding is a form of inbreeding and its goal is the same, to increase the appearance of recessive traits that are manifest within a desired ancestor by increasing homozygosity in the offspring. Linebreeding is only effective because it increases homozygosity, that is the mechanism through which it works to “fix” traits. Homozygosity is directly causative to recessive allele expression. Homozygosity “fixes” recessive traits without distinction to their merits. “Good” and “bad” alleles are doubled up just the same and at random.

[@APBT-Bandog]

It isn't just about increasing recessives. When combined with selection, inbreeding and line-breeding can also increase homozygosity of desired dominant traits as well.

[@aaronpotter2000]

Does sex matter for the “A” whether male or female?

[@elmaury2335]

I've got the same question

[@chrisdelcambre7915]

Female is 70% of the genetic makeup, because of the mitochondrial DNA,, keep that in mind,,

[@CharlieTheCaneCorso]

Everyone wants to be a beast but nobody wants to do beast shit

[@castleblackrottweilers9713]

Is Soro or Sorrell same?

[@APBT-Bandog]

no. Bert Sorrells bred dogs from around 1970 to 2008 or so

[@castleblackrottweilers9713]

Thanks for the clarification.. I had a Sorrel pup in mid 90’s.. she was extremely fearless.. didn’t have that athletic build but definitely game dog.

[@yuowk]

you are goat 👍

[@Rev792]

Mayday is a super old blood line ...super amazing .. I'm not in tuned with Pitbull bloodlines I used to be as a kid I had a book with bloodline such as razor's edge Kobe Goofy mayday etc are these still a thing?

[@APBT-Bandog]

Mayday, in terms of bloodlines is not really that old...as he was born in 1990, so the bloodline really began around 1995-2000. Many lines go back twice as far.

[@paulavery3806]

Two points I like the most if 50% of your yard don't consists of the best dogs you seen in your life what are you/them doing and you breed to be better than the two dog you put together period. Especially if they two traites clicked

[@ric2267]

Why does it matter if someone breeds a dog that you gave away?

[@APBT-Bandog]

What are you referring to?

[@ric2267]

@APBT-Bandog You mentioned getting them fixed the giving them away as pets. But why get them fix?

[@APBT-Bandog]

@@ric2267 That is something that is only considered for the dogs we view as "pet class," meaning...a dog that is healthy & stable, but does not have the level of drive or the near perfect structure we desire.

[@alfredrobinson5458]

What about a father daughter breeding then breed the son back to the mom then breed him back to his daughter ?

[@APBT-Bandog]

One could do it, but why? If you like both the father and mother enough to breed that tight, you might as well go with a full-sibling breeding.

[@onegreatone2810]

Well one problem thier I'd have breeding a Merle to a Merle. were going daughter back to dad .

Anyone that talks about "the golden vein" does not understand genetics. He uses phrases and sound bites like that to bait in people that are ignorant of genetics. Genes do not work that way.

Does the "Apex" have to be a male or female?

no. Either is fine. Apex means best.
