It's very important. Thoroughbred racing is a billion dollar industry so the breeding programs are vital to get the fastest horses possible. Bloodlines are studied so the resulting foal has the best genes for speed and the ability to run distances.

You have bought a purebred dog but he has no papers. Where do you go to get his purebred papers?

No, probably not. If the sire and dam were not already registered with papers, then there is no way you can prove your dog is a purebred. Usually purebred registration is regulated by the breeder when the puppies are born as a part of the contract of sale, and it is normal to require that the purebred puppies, if registered, include the breeding kennel's name in the official registration name. It is also normal to require that the puppies be spayed/neutered, because the breeder would normally get a share in any profits from any breeding you do with your puppy.All of this assumes that the breeder is a reputable, AKC breeder, that cares for the dogs and where the puppies are "kitchen-raised," etc. If you got your dog from a puppy mill or a large-scale breeding operation, it is likely that your dog actually is not a purebred--particularly if the purebred paperwork was not handled as a part of sale when you got the puppy.


How selective breeding using dominant principle can positively affect Belgian Blue Cow?

It depends on what trait is being selected for. Whatever that trait is, it has to be a trait that will improve the BB breed, not unimprove it. How that works is that purebred cattle are selected for a dominant desirable trait and bred together to produce more cattle with that trait. Any other cattle that have the recessive undesirable trait are culled.


Why is selective breeding important for farmers or animal breeders?

disadvantage: selective breeding gets rid of varietyadvantage: selective breeding rules out weakness and disabilitydisadvantage: isn't that what Hitler tried to do with humans in WWII? do we really want to be like him?Selective breeding(or artificial selection) produces traits which may be advantagious to us, but be a disadvantage to the animal.Here are some examples-The lapps of northern Europe herd and breed the wild deer, selecting docile animals. The resulting herds could not survive in the wild.Cows with big udders are good for us , but are probably painful for the cow. English bulldogs mght be considered a cool looking dog, but have breathing difficulties and such small pelvises that they often have to give birth by causation.Advantages: Can produce fitter, stronger animals or animals of a higher yield of milk, meat or eggs for example. Can produce animals better suited to survive in poor climates or marginal conditions, thus preserving human food supplies and saving life. Can ensure the eradication of hereditary sickness in some blood lines.Disadvantages: For show animals such wild kitten eatingas some dogs, it is practised quite strictly by breeders aiming at a certain look which is set down as the breed "standard"- many Dalmation puppies are euthanased because they do not exhibit the breed standards for example, so there are serious moral questions to it too.Too much close interbreeding to obtain certain cosmetic traits can also result in the amplifying of inherent illnesses - like the bulldogs mentioned above, or German shephered dogs with hip problems and so on - in fact, these issues are rapidly worsening in recent years with dogs in particular. keep in mind it will eat your babies if you anger them.


Will bringing a dog with another breed mess up the bloodline?

IF you're talking about breeding then yes, having one breed of dog breed to another breed of dog will make it a cross-breed meaning it's bloodlines are not pure and breeding it to another purebred of what it's parents(either sire or dam) won't make a purebred puppy. But if you're talking about just introducing another neuted dog into the house hold then no. Their blood cannot be passed among dogs just by contact, it has Tobe done by breeding.

What do purebreeds conists of?

Purebreds is a term to describe organisms that contain a homozygous gene, whether dominant or recessive. Usually, this can be down through selective breeding which is practised in many industrial purposes, such as raising cattle. For example the gene for tallness is dominant, therefore represented by a T, while for shortness it is a recessive allele, which is represented by a t. A purebred for tallness can be either TT or tt, meaning purebred tall, or purebred short.


What creates purebred animals and plants?

Purebred animals and plants can be created by performing selective breeding in the case of animals and by using the same or similar seeds for plants. There have been cases of the beef industry going for purebred practice and getting those purebred cattle having more muscle mass and less fat. In the case of plants, there has been too much contamination of the actual gene of the original plant due to the rise of hybrids created by genetically modified organism (GMO) companies.


What does the concept of 'crossbreed' do?

Crossbreeding refers to the practice of breeding purebred animals of two different varieties (e.g. a poodle and a Labrador.) The concept of crossbreeding is useful to breeders in several ways. It can be used, for example, to create new hybrid varieties that combine favorable characteristics from different purebred strains into new strain. It also allows breeders to strengthen purebred strains and avoid excessive inbreeding by introducing genetic diversity from other populations. In this case, crossbreeding is followed by selective breeding with the purebred population in order to maintain the positive impact of increased diversity while reducing noticeable divergences from breed characteristics that may occur in the initial crossbreed.
