What inherited trait is the most difficult to eliminate from a breeding program?
1. Health problems, since often it’s impossible to know exactly where they came from in the first place and how to stay away from them.
2. An incorrect front assembly (straight shoulders, straight upper and lower arms and ewe necks) Any one of these or a combination any or all!!
3.Those traits that have been present in your dogs pedigree for at least 2-3 generations tend to be the most difficult to remove. For example, if you have one or two dogs in a litter that have lighter than expected eyes when both the parents and grandparents have dark eyes. This would certainly be easier to correct than trying to correct light eyes in a line where the parents, grandparents, etc. have light eyes.
4. Croups and tail sets.
5. Bad movement
6. Incorrect bites
7. Colors
