These principles were applied to change animal populations thousands of years before the sciences of genetics and biometry were formally established.

yeah i know this is not real…
but just imagine…

Although dominance variation is not more complex in theory, it is more difficult to control in practice because of how one allele masks the effect of another.

Selecting animals for breeding with superior EBV in growth rate, egg, meat, milk, or wool production, or have other desirable traits has revolutionized agricultural livestock production throughout the world.

Even if it was his relatives(cousins or others)house like he said, he still would have know about it and still let it happened. They found 60 dogs buried in his backyard.

Sixty-six dogs, mostly pit bulls, were seized from a Surry County home last month when a narcotics raid turned up evidence of dog fighting. The home and gated property were owned by NFL star Michael Vick, a Newport News native, and occupied by his cousin, Davon Boddie.

Investigators said many of the dogs were injured or neglected. They are now being held and cared for at undisclosed locations across the area. At least three of them are at the Chesapeake Animal Control Bureau, nursing facial wounds and too timid to walk on a leash.

“These are dogs that have been bred and trained for the purpose of fighting and killing other dogs,” said Goodwin, who is the society’s deputy manager of animal fighting issues. “We recommend that any dog put through this not be adopted out but be euthanized. The blame for every one of these dog deaths lies squarely on the shoulders of the people who breed them for these illegal purposes

, a breed or strain within a breed that is different in some aspects from other breeds or strains.

This male African Lion is having a fit as his keeper tries to open his gate and let them out into their big yard. Can you imagine having this in your backyard? How many attacks can you find if you do an internet search? LOTS! Lions, Tigers, Leopards, Cougars, Bobcats and many other wild animals, exotic cats, are sadly kept in people’s back yards. Most of them meet tragic fates in the end. This grumpy lion was one of the lucky few who was rescued by a sanctuary. A true sanctuary does not breed, do not buy, do not sell nor do they allow the public to pet the animals. Winter is coming fast, the costs in caring for these rescued lions, tigers, bears and more sky rockets in the winter.

For most traits measured in domestic animals, the environment has a larger impact on variation than do genetic differences.

Four white lion cubs are forming part of an extensive white lion breeding program underway at a South African Park. For centuries rumours of mysterious white lions circulated in South Africa. Claims of sightings of the white lion started to surface in 1928. Scattered reports continued but confirmation that these animals were really white did not come until 1975 when a litter containing two white cubs was seen at Timbavati Game Reserve, adjacent to Kruger National Park. Several lions still survive from the original strain, all in captivity, and the breeding of white lions in various zoos around the world must be handled very carefully.

Breeding progress requires understanding the two sources of variation: genetics and environment.

Breeding was the theme for the 2006 fieldays, here is a better close up video i took at the time of the special ambreed seamen collector in use
