Research shows that 76% of adult dogs can recognize their mothers. So why do dogs need to be inbred if they can obviously recognize their mothers? In fact, it’s not the dog’s fault. You won’t be surprised after reading this!
① Human intervention
In order to breed purebred dogs, many people choose inbreeding, thinking that this can retain the characteristics of a certain dog breed and sell it at a higher price. This is why purebred dogs are prone to illness and have many genetic diseases.
② No other choice
Some people’s dogs have puppies at home and will keep one or two to raise. If the dog left behind is a male dog, when it reaches the age of heat and is not neutered, it will have no other choice and will choose its own mother. The physiological needs of the dog are intolerable.
③ There are no three views.
We humans have learned for a long time and established the three views, but dogs have not. They do not know what the three views are. For them, inbreeding is a means of continuing offspring, which is normal. Mating with the mother is not considered a bad thing.
④ Mothers do not refuse
Mothers love their children. When their children have needs, they will satisfy them. Then it is like this from generation to generation. It is not surprising. Instead, they think this is normal operation.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of inbreeding?
As mentioned before, inbreeding of dogs can make the genes of a certain dog breed more stable. Some people will pursue bloodlines. In addition to this advantage, there are also many disadvantages, because close relatives will inherit many genetic diseases, resulting in a shorter life span. Inbreeding dogs are also prone to deformities.
How to avoid inbreeding in dogs?
Nowadays, many dogs are domesticated. It is estimated that the owners are shocked when they see such a scene. Therefore, if you want to avoid it, it is best to keep the dogs of the opposite sex separately, especially the dogs that have reached the age of estrus, or to neuter them to fundamentally prevent this from happening.
After sterilization, due to changes in hormones, dogs become fat easily and become less active. For the sake of the dog's health, it must be given a fixed amount of exercise every day to help the body's metabolism.
