Indeed, Peggy, phenotype is what you see, how right you are. But genotype is what you get, and linebreeding is rarely done on phenotype -otherwise, how would it be breeding to a line? "Hmmm...I wasn't aware that Hitler, Stalin, and the Taliban were breeding dogs at all." Oh, what a shame - you didn't know? Hitler did, and so did Stalin - thier version of genetic purity, after all, being important to both of them. And like the other fascist regimes, the Taliban burned books to prevent the spread of knowledge - censorship being a good thing, and the spread of knowledge through books and academic achievement being a bad one. "The point is that the scientific theories about breeding dogs are usually postulated by people who did not breed dogs..." No, the research quoted was into genetics. " ... or if they tried their theories out, they did so with breeds more like Beagles, which breed pretty true and are usually the scientists' breed of choice for more reasons than just that." Beagles being the dog of choice for cigarette companies and a few others, yes, I know thanks. "Don't get your panties in a twist" I don't wear them - sorry, and should I do so, they'd be knickers. "but don't twist what I say, either, please." You manage to do that all on your own.
