Inbreeding in the extreme!

Postby Touchy » Sat Oct 17, 2020 5:20 pm

Hi,

A friend of mine heard that you "breed to the best and hope for the best".
Have a look on Pedigree Query at "Touchy Suchy". There is only 1.
After extending it to 7 generations, I was amazed at the amount of inbreeding
this pedigree contains.
3 different daughters of Best in Show, Flaming Page thru Fleur x3 and 1 Nijinsky.
Just to name a few from the 8F family.
What do you think?
I may note that this horse is in Australia, the mare has had 5 foals, 2 raced, both winners,
I will update the progeny ASAP.
I await your replies.
Wayne.
