| KaDoKits Exotics presents the Basics... Genetics Sometimes a frightening and overwhelming subject for people to learn. When one gets into cat breeding, they are often bombarded by people talking about genetics. It can be simple and quite complex at the same time. Certainly, to breed animals, you don't have to understand genetics. After all, one boy plus one girl equals babies. And all baby animals are cute! However, if you are going to enter pedigreed animal breeding, then it is in your best interest to get a grasp of the genetic principles surrounding your chosen species/breed/variety. A clear understanding of your genetics will help you improve your breed and help you avoid making costly mistakes. Since I breed cats, I will talk about the cat genetics I deal with in my breeding program. First, the BASICS! There is so much to learn and if you talk to other breeders who are enthused about their breed's genetics, you can soon find yourself feeling hopelessly lost! But....it is not hopeless! Any time something seems too big to understand, make it smaller! . |
