Methods and breeding techniques
Tribal dilution is possible only with a purebred crossing that uses several methods.
- Outbriding It implies the use of purebred animals that do not have common ancestors. Selection of steam in this case is quite close to the natural course of events. Complexity, or even the disadvantage of this method can be the inability to predict the results. Heredity can manifest itself in the most unusual way, significantly violating the clarity of the signs of the breed. In the outbreaking, dogs from two different lines with similar qualities are selected. Over time, the puppies will become less likely to resemble their hedgeons, and their proportions will be different from the standard. Therefore, outbrending, despite the existing advantages, is allowed not to be used on an ongoing basis.
- Inbreeding It is to involve close relatives, for example, sister and brother or father with her daughter. This method is applied to secure certain characteristics of the breed. The use of inbreeding is recommended only by professionals with carefully learning selected manufacturers. Inbreeding can be useful, but sometimes it leads to inheritance of negative qualities.
- Linbedding or linear crossing It implies the crossing of the pieces that have a common progenitor, but are in the distant relationship. This ancestor has a great spectrum of positive qualities, as well as a stable ability to transfer them to their heirs.
- Outcroxing It is the selection of couples that do not have joint ancestors in the fourth and fifth generation. However, both members of this pair should be obtained due to linear crossing, as well as to be selected, taking into account the ladies transmitted by inheritance. With the help of outcrossing, a dog is introduced to the Foundation, which has the necessary qualities necessary for the breed.
As for the ways of direct mating, then two options are distinguished.
- Free Suitable for dogs showing favor to each other, as well as when the dog has long been unleashed. The owners in this situation should still control the entire process.
- Manual way It is selected when animals may need help. If one of the dogs is the first one, the procedure also has a veterinarian or a kinologist.

Terms of Content and Care
The content and care of dogs are largely determined by the breed selected for breeding, but when it comes to manufacturers, still have Some uniform conditions.
