I'd like an opinion on crossing back on a line. Is two generations okay or should it be more? In a direct line, it should be 5 or more, but in an indirect line is it okay? I was going over pedigrees of my former stock with their new owner, and the breeder she wants to work with. There are relatives in the family tree. I have a jill who is sister to another breeders hob. Both of these animals were crossed in unrelated matches, and so have had the next generation of kits crossed in unrelated matches. Can the cousins from these third generations be crossed back with no major consequences? We are looking for disposition rather than color. The crosses in one line have remained concentrated on one color. The crosses in my line were for size and disposition. KG [Posted in FML issue 3212]
