There is no beginning or end. Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift. | ||

I believe a good outcross can happen if you are very discriminating in your selection, IE select outcross lines or even another breed that has characteristics you are looking for. Longer muzzle, good muscle/bone, tighter skin, and more importantly temperament and courage. Or at leat me personally if I bred NEO's that's what I would look for. My dog stinks. | ||

Is it not just inbreeding, but selection thereafter? Qui Me Amat Amet Et Canem Meum | ||

For instance outcrossing a Neapolitan Mastiff to a Cane Corso, Bullmastiff or Presa Canario to get a desired result like more athleticism, less wrinkles or sharper temp, etc.. ------- Maximus This Government is not far from destruction when it crowns with its highest honor in time of peace, the man that was false to it in time of war.

"Outcross breeding is much easier to explain so we will start here. Outcross breeding is when you take a male and female dog of the same breed but have no relatives that are the same. It is similar to putting two dogs of different breeds together as they do not have any relatives. When you mix breeds or outcross in the same breed of dogs, the puppies could have three different looks. Some may look like the mom, some like the dad, and some may have neither the mother nor the father’s appearance. In outcross breeding the appearance (similarities and differences with the parents) are immediately noticeable. However, the health and temperament of the outcross breeding takes longer to distinguish. People often believe that, because the outcross is a blending of two non related dogs, there is an averaging of the parents’ characteristics in their offspring. One would think that more blending of size, shape, coat, ear length, and temperament and health factors would take place. But this is not true, as I stated before, the puppies could look nothing like either parent. One upside to the outcross breeding is a thing called Hybrid Vigor. Hybrid vigor means that when you cross breed you get healthier, stronger specimens. However, not all cross breeding produce hybrid vigor because this is not a perfect world. Obviously, you need to have two healthy, genetically clean parents to start—knowing the background of the sires and dams is important in any breeding. With a dog such as the Labrador Retriever, the #1 dog in America today, outcross breeding is a good breeding practice. Why? Because of its popularity, the demand for labs is high; breeding happens in order to keep up the supply for the demand; and along with all this breeding comes all the health ailments out there. Outcross breeding and sire/dam research can reduce the occurrences of these issues. With outcross breeding there is a concern with performance. Pointing instinct, flushing instinct, and retrieving ability can be seriously diminished. It is important to mention here that diminished performance is a possibility with outcross breeding but with researching the performance histories of the sires and dams successful dogs can be produced through this kind of breeding." There is no beginning or end. Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift. | ||
