Sometime ago I had an accidental brother/sister breeding. I intended to dispose of them at birth but got to thinking their sire and dam were 50% Gantte and 50% weems, so the pups were still 50/50 so I kept a couple of them, the parents litter were all above average and well balanced in traits. When they were 7 mo old I took them hunting and they started with a bang, no backgrounding, no training at all and from the first smell they went, and ran up to the end. I was pretty impressed, normally pups that young with no experience get thrown out of a long fast race due to not having learned to negotiate the terrain. They just beat themselves up with the extra effort to stay with the front. Just before they were 9 mo old they overheated while out of pocket, one of them died and the other was ruined. This got my curiosity up, so I looked for genetic info in general and was surprised to learn that a bro/sis cross has an COI "coefficient of inbreeding" of 25. It went on to say that most all "purebred dogs" in any one breed had a very similar COI to the bro/sis cross. That surprised me, and I don't know if it is correct or not, but I had previously ran a pedigree of a dog I had through a COI calculator, and his number came back 21. Now if I'd sent dna off on that dog and had it ran I suspect his COI would have proved higher than 21, because he was from a 60 year closed breeding program, and the dna would have shown a much deeper genetic profile than I had fed in to the calculator. When I ran the ped through the calculator it had said the more gens I put in it the more accurate it would be. Now according to some of the pro's and registries any COI over a 10 is a danger to the breed?? It doesn't all add up for me, look at coyotes, wolves, dingoes. Dingoes are very well adapted apex very physically adept and supossedly started from a very small gene pool. Somewhere between 3500 and 5000 years ago in Austrailia, their mitochondrial dna after several hundred dogs tested was over 90 % traceable to one female. Historically inbreeding itself does not cause problems in the offspring. The presence of undesirable recessive genes being magnified causes problems, but if you happened to have very clean genomes to start with you could get a lot farther without ever experiencing problems. Just something to think about, I found it interesting. I am not promoting bro/sis crossing, just ever trying to better understand how genetics work.

I have five 5'x10'x6' heavy duty commercial grade chain link kennels for sale...they are in good to excellent condition, I am asking $350.00 each or $275 each for all five...I am throwing in the dog-loo houses if available for free... For true commercial‑grade, Mason‑style kennels (the type used by vets, boarding facilities, and working kennels), the real price range for a 5' x 10' heavy‑duty is $799–$1,200 for standard units, and $1,800–$7,000+ for multi‑run professional systems.
I kept the 2 best TT15 collars with the ALPHA 100...all in great condition on account these were my newest collars and my second Alpha 100...I will take 350 for this package...
I replaced my old MN10 tracker with a Quick Track 1000 about the time I bought my first Alpha 100 on account i didn't trust the Alpha...i think i used it 7 or 8 times and then put it up forever...my MN10 was just as good but way smaller...but it has 7 or 8 collars...all this for $100, the Quick Track itself is almost brand new and price was pretty high for back then...
I also have a 4 wheeler, a 2003 Yamaha Grizzly 660 with a dog transport cage in front and back...i have carried 6 dogs but 4 is best...tires are in excellent condition and it was running when i put it up...i treated it rough but always stored in an enclosed tool shed...i liked it because i could go where ATV's could not...$600, prices are low so not much room for negotiation...
Call or text me if interested...I am in Freeport Tx one hour southwest of Houston along the coast...
Reuben, 979-239-8513, thanks for reading...

I have given the dogs probiotics, I had a stubborn case of loose stool with one and that cleared it up. Not me, the dog.

I give my dogs that have been cut red cell for a few days and my gyps get it during heat cycles or after whelping. I started with the zinc at one time but it was kind of a headache so I just quit. I’m big on the pre/probiotics. I have seen too many examples of their effects not to.

I was wondering if any of you fine folks give your dogs vitamin or mineral supplements? I was thinking of ordering some b-12 and maybe some zinc, what are your thoughts?
